I find it hard to believe intelligence communities would take this message seriously given the poster's screen-name.

Actually, the posters to these chat rooms all have 'jehadi' type names. Of course, I'm Johnathanrgalt and you're thatdewd. How many take us seriously?

These webhosters are really starting to make me sick.

Me too. I'm all for capitalism and making an honest buck but the ISPs seem to be overstepping some boundary of common decency here.

True, my own in particular (blush), but I meant the poster directly calling himself "Bin Laden" in his screen name. If al-Qaeda posted a statement, I would expect them to use a group name. If it was a direct statement from OBL it would have gone to al-jazeera or a similar mouthpiece long before that site saw it. The way that statement was presented, it's either some prankish teen or the website itself trying to drum up publicity (and advertising revenues).
