 Daily mail article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1223757/Is-blurry-face-Osama-bin-Laden-New-Al-Qaeda-video-footage-leader-2007.htmlIs this the face of Osama bin Laden? New Al-Qaeda video may show first footage of terror chief since 2007The video is deliberately blurred, the view is only partial, and it lasts for just a few short seconds. But that is enough for the tantalising question to be raised: Is this the first video footage of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to emerge in more than two years? The video, posted on the internet by Al Qaeda's media branch As Sahab, was a taped message by another Al Qaeda high-up, Abu Yah-ya al-Libi. He was preaching a sermon on Tuesday when the video was recorded. It is not clear where the sermon was taking place. Most of the video is of good quality - but, near the end, the view suddenly blurs as the camera zeroes in on one man in the crowd getting to his feet. The apparently-deliberate obstruction of the bearded man's face, combined with the setting, was enough for some of the Italian media to venture their theory that he was in fact Osama bin Laden. Washington-based think intelligence study group IntelCenter, which released stills from Tuesday's video, said no new footage of bin Laden has been seen since 2007. The organisation also said its own analysis of the video could not determine if the man was bin Laden or not. Many MailOnline readers have argued that the man in the video is not bin Laden as his beard is a different colour. However viewers elsewhere have pointed out that bin Laden has dyed his beard before, and could have done so again. The dying of beards is a popular practice among Arab leaders, said Rita Katz, director of the SITE Institute, a Washington-based group that monitors terror messages. Words fail me ! |

Honestly at this point all they'd really need to do is have some guy with a beard. I mean, they've had so many "bin Laden" tapes with different people playing the role I don't even know what he's actually supposed to look like anymore.

There is no "gray" when it comes to what is good or evil, it is always black and white. People have the potential to be as evil as Hitler, or as good as Gandhi or MLK Jr. However, most people are more like zebras.

Thats the plan ! Considering this is aimed at the Daily Mail audience (supposed thinking people) it's an insult to anyone's intelligence. They think they can sell us anything. Maybe they can! |

The accompanying poll, to test the public's gullibility, shows that 29% think it is bin Laden. 71% voted that they didn't think it was a picture of bin Laden. That's not bad. |
