There have been accusations, especially in Muslim countries, that the U.S. government altered the videotape it released last month in which bin Laden talked about planning the attacks.

I hope that's not your evidence that the whole world is laughing at us.

That article is filled with hearsay and sounds awfully whiney.

The reason that the tapes were supposedly edited, is that they contained embarassing information about the Saudis. In essence, basically saying it was a well known fact that the Saudis knew what Bin-Laden was up to. If this is so way off-base, please explain to me why 18 of the 20 hijackers were saudi citizens, but we have not made one single demand of the Saudi government. We have bombed Afghanistan and destroyed the Taliban, (rightly, I might add) but have take no measures against the Saudi government, why??

Of course not. AP is quite careful, and rightly so.
Their article is nothing more than a clumsy damage control.
Check EU, Asia or AU media. They don't have to be careful.
