Big freaking deal AQ...you won that round....but we have kicked your ass cross the four corners of this earth ever since...
Maybe no point is releasing to the public, but maybe to the intel agencies.
"The recording could help resolve questions over Atta's whereabouts in January 2000, after he fled his home in Hamburg, Germany.
Osama bin Laden is also shown on the hour-long video addressing supporters at a site in Kandahar, Afghanistan, the newspaper reported. It said a timecode stamp indicated the al-Qaida leader was speaking on January 8, 2000. "
It may indicate something about their planning way back over a year and a half before the attacks.
I am sure -- ore at least hope, that the intel agencies would have someone who can lip read and figure out at least part of what they are saying on the tape.
It has one of the hijackers of United 93.....I like to think we won that round too....since they didn't complete their mission.
Here's the thing, Atta's roommate in Florida crashed his small aircraft into a small twin-engined airplane on September 11, 2000. Two Thousand. Not 2001. Oh, and the year before, a man flew an aircraft into the White House lawn late on the evening of 9/11/1999.
Al Qaeda tried to hit us on 1/1/2000 at LAX, but a single alert fed stopped them, by sheer luck.
Then Al Qaeda hit us in December of 2000 in Yemen, bombing the USS Cole.
Atta then hit us on 9/11/2001. And here's a tidbit that hasn't made the news: "Atta" is a birth name that means: twin.
Who and where is his sibling?
