I'm inclined to agree. If it isn't an artifact of translation I'd have to say that UBL has hired some deservedly unemployed college-level scriptwriters. The content of his 1998
fatwah was flowery and evocative Arabic prose; this is reconstituted Michael Moore.
How this communication was "authenticated" so quickly is a bit of a mystery to me. That is not normally a short process unless the subject has used code words that were intended to certify authenticity (as the IRA commonly did).
Those two anomalies and the fact that it is conceivably useful to both sides in the U.S. election make me quite suspicious that perhaps this "authentication" is a bit more cursory than might be desired. Time will tell.

Hmmm, since it was released via Al Jaziera, I don't think there was ANY "authentication" process. Al Jaziera got the tape and ran it. This comes from a NON US Source. So the attempt to spin this as a "Govt plot" is nonsense. Sounds to me like you are trying to rationalize it away rather then accepting the reality.
