Off topic a bit, but does anyone else find it strange that most of the translations of OBL's screed leave out some very important details..like the bald face lies that OBL told concerning 'torture' at Abu Graib? CBS leaves it out of their translation, as well as quite a few other LSM outlets. CSPAN has the complete translation on their site:

OBL accuses our troops of drilling screwdrivers into his 'holy warriors' heads and of mass suicides among our troops. It is complete and utter bs of course, but isn't strange that the LSM seems to be hiding bin Laden's lies.
From the transcript:
"As for torturing men, they have used burning chemical acids and drills on their joints. And when they give up on [interrogating] them, they sometimes use the drills on their heads until they die. Read, if you will, the reports of the horrors in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo prisons."
I think the media is hiding this part of the transcript because it makes THEM look bad for promoting and manufacturing the whole AbuGraib 'scandal'! OBL in 1998 wrote a Jihad Training Manual in which he instructs his 'warriors' to make claims of torture and abuse if they are caught and the media fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Glad I read your post, I wasn't aware of the complete transcript. very interesting.
Your asking the media to not to pass Bin Ladens propaganda as Usama demands? What kinda 4th dimension of reasonableness do you live in?
