Interesting article. Only 6 minutes of the video was played on Al Jazeera. They left out the parts where Osama cries in his beer about how they're getting smacked around. http://www.nypost.com/news/nationalnews/33063.htm

NewsMax.com's Fr. Michael Reilly says federal election records show a suspicious link between the Kerry campaign and a controversial fund-raiser for an organization with terrorist ties. As this bitter and partisan election draws to a close, a new bombshell may spell trouble for Senator Kerry. Evidently, he has accepted campaign contributions from the chief fund-raiser for an Albanian terrorist organization known as the Kosovo Liberation Army [KLA, or UCK in Albania]. Story Continues Below According to federal election records, Florin Krasniqi, a KLA fund-raiser who had raised over $30 million for the group, contributed $2,000 to the Kerry campaign this...

NEW YORK - President Bill Clinton has claimed that he can find no connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda. The former President made this assertion despite his own Justice Department citing just such a connection. Clinton made the comments on the 'Today' show with Katie Couric. He asserted "All I can tell you is...I never saw it (the connection between Al Qaeda in Iraq)". But according to a report filed by his own justice department dating back to 1998 just such a connection was cited. And it was cited in an actual indictment of Osama bin Ladin. From the indictment's...

NEW YORK - CBS News has "ratcheted up" the claim that President Clinton had never had the opportunity to capture Osama bin Ladin. In a portion of the taped interview with CBS anchor Dan Rather for Sunday's 60 Minutes telecast the former President supposedly referred to the idea of having had a chance to have Osama bin Ladin turned over to him from the Sudanese as "total bull." This statement was then edited out of the Sunday night broadcast. On Monday evening Dan Rather aired some of the additional footage where Clinton further denied any opportunity to have detained or...

Mar 20, 20031,000 U.S. Troops Sweep Into Southern Afghanistan in New Hunt for Al-Qaida SuspectsBy Jamey KeatenAssociated Press Writer BAGRAM, Afghanistan (AP) - About 1,000 U.S. troops and attack helicopters swept into villages in southern Afghanistan Thursday in a new military operation to flush out remaining al-Qaida terrorists and their allies, an Army spokesman said. The operation, code-named "Valiant Strike," began with an early morning air assault assisted by a ground convoy in the remote, mountainous area of southern Kandahar province, Col.

Speaking Freely is an Asia Times Online feature that allows guest writers to have their say. Please click here if you are interested in contributing. Osama Bin Laden must be elated, even if he is on the run. Al-Qaeda, his brainchild, was created with a rather simple goal in mind - to expel American forces from his former homeland, Saudi Arabia, stationed there since the end of the first Gulf War in 1991. In that quest, al-Qaeda gained notoriety by taking on the United States with the epic attacks on US soil, galvanizing radical and extremist elements in many parts...

Bin Laden Sends Greetings to D.C. Protesters? A representative from a Muslim advocacy group offered greetings to tens of thousands of anti-war protesters gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday in the name of the "Mujahadeen," a term that has come to be closely associated with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terror network. Dr. Ghazi Khaksan, of the Council on American Islamic Relations, took to the podium near the end of the rally to read a poem packed with criticism of the Bush administration. "Tell Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Tony Blair to stop colonizing Middle East oil through blood and warfare,"...

Middle East THE ROVING EYE Part 1: The Saudi equation DUBAI - There are few more privileged places to gauge popular opinion on the American jihad against Iraq than this gargantuan emporium - one of the world's definitive crossroads. Lebanese still dream of their golden days, but after the devastating Lebanese civil war, it was Dubai that eventually prevailed as the late 20th century, and now 21st century, high-tech equivalent of Venice in the 15th, or Amsterdam in the 17th. Fly and buy. Anything. Universal commerce. A WTO dream come true. This is a vortex that feeds a much larger...

Tuesday July 2, 2002; 11:12 p.m. EDT U.S. Sudan Ambassador Confirms Clinton Snubbed Bin Laden Deal Former ambassador to the Sudan Tim Carney confirmed Tuesday night that the Clinton administration refused an offer from the Sudanese government to hand over terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden in the late 1990's - directly contradicting former Clinton administration officials who have attacked the story as baseless. "In fact, what was offered (by the Sudanese) was to expel bin Laden to Saudi Arabia and the Saudis, because he was such a hot potato, simply refused to handle him," Carney told Fox News Channel's...

Do you remember those $3.5 million government ads that ran during the Super Bowl-the ones linking drug use with terrorism? "Timmy," a somber-looking teenager, stared at the camera and said: "I killed mothers. I killed fathers. I killed grandmas. I killed grandpas. I killed sons. I killed daughters. I killed firemen. I killed policemen." A stark, guilt-laden message from the U.S. Office of National Drug Control Policy flashed during a brief pause: "DRUG MONEY SUPPORTS TERRORISM. IF YOU BUY DRUGS, YOU MIGHT TOO." Then, Timmy added: "Technically, I didn't kill these people. I just kind of helped." Well, now it's...
