What if Azzam and the other al qaeda cell members -- made up of American whitebreads and ME illegals -- are here within the U.S.? What if the tape was produced inside a studio? What if they are awaiting the hit?
These are all just what-ifs, of course.
that's a possibility. of course, ABC says it got the tape from someone in Pakistan ... either it was produced there or it was sent to them in Pakistan (possibly from the U.S.). Look what Brown can do for you! :-)
I just think the costs of making these productions is very low and so is the level of skill needed to do so.
Let's say these 2 on the tape are in America. All they would need is a room in an apartment, a digital video camera, and a broadband connection. They create the tape, send it to someone who sends it to someone. The tape finds itself in the hands of the as Sahab people/person. The as Sahab people/person adds the logo, the translation, and some design. Everything is put on VHS or CD/DVD and dropped in a mailbox.
Now, lets say as Sahab already has a tape of UBL or gets one the same day the news of this American tape comes out. They go through the production process and let it hit the street. There is no translation needed for the UBL tape, so the production process would be much quicker.
Both production tapes originated in Pakistan.
I'm not sure if #2 was in response to #1, or #1 was a predecessor to #2... Heck, they may be (probably are) mutually exclusive. Thing is, whether these underlings are under dirrect command or not... they have evil intentions and may be in the U.S.
