I don't know much about this Farah guy, and the prior comments seem to indicate that he shouldn't be taken seriously. How much credibility should we be giving to this article and its assertion that Osama has nukes?

"How much credibility should we be giving to this article and its assertion that Osama has nukes?"
From what is known and believed about OBL - IF he had nukes, what would he be doing with them? Would he be sitting on them or would he have tried to produce a "spectacular"? - the latter. A spectacular attack would give him [in his frame of reference] much greater boost than all the videotapes and rumors combined. Thus, if he has any nukes, he must have acquired them extremely recently.

he easily could. There are still about 10 KGB suitcase bombs floating around out there. Some source (I wish I could remember whom) said on FOX that Al Queda claims to have 2 of them.

You said -- "I don't know much about this Farah guy, and the prior comments seem to indicate that he shouldn't be taken seriously. How much credibility should we be giving to this article and its assertion that Osama has nukes?"

The other "comments" are the "spin" given to their own particular viewpoints. If you check out Farah, he's been in the newspaper business for a long time. He started his own online newspaper, because he saw that was the way things were going.

He's a Christian; he's been interviewed in many different places and on some Christian TV shows and ministries. He has that particular viewpoint to many of the news articles. I believe he's from Lebanon or of Lebanese descent. Everytime I refer to anyone like that I always think of Brigitte Gabriel (from Lebanon herself). Look her up if you don't know who she is.

You can look at his "stable of writers" -- as he has many different ones there. All in all, I think it's a good news site and I check it all the time, in addition to checking here at Free Republic.
