If your right then why would the cia or fbi say they have authenticated the tape as real?
real..? that can mean anything. But if the cia thought this was a 'genuine' al qaida threat from the top leader, as opposed to a tape made by someone who may be affiliated in some way with al qaida but certainly doesn't represent them, then the cia, fbi would have impounded that tape from abc on the spot.
It just doesn't smell right to me. This would be all over the MSM by now, including newspapers since drudge had this out for some time. Nope, the cia, fbi etc. don't seem to be as 'concerned' as they would if this was something they believed came from al qaida authority.
just my take
