aside from the videotape "confession/(s)" (found in a safe house") in which the man they allege to be "Osama Bin Laden admits to the attacks although there are quite a few problems with the tape...
1. The video is of very poor quality
2. "Bin Laden" appears to be writing a note with his Right Hand even though the FBI website has described Bin Laden as left handed http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm
3.This man in the video is wearing a gold ring. Expressly forbidden in Islam
4. When compared with other pictures of Contemporaries depicting Bin Laden this guy looks nothing like him.
5. In an interview with Ummat magazine published september 28th Bin Laden states the following "I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act."

You are innocent until proven guilty or is it you are guilty until proven innocent... I know which one it is, but my friend and i made a bet and he said that you are guilty until proven innocent. He just wants it in writing from someone or anyone out there. For some reason he does not believe me, hopefully with the help of yahoo answers you can help me prove my point.

I only ask this question because it really pisses me off to see people fighting over the words democrats and republicans. It is just plain retarded! It should be about the issues at hand and nothing about the "Gang" or "click" you follow. If you are one of those who makes up your mind before even full reading about an issue then you are just plain ingnorant and that is why we are in the position we are in today! Its all about being republican or democrat instead of the issues. If this is what we have to look forward to in the future I truely believe WWIII is right around the corner. Its this type of ignorance that will end the world! Come on people, forget about republicans and democrats for once and simply look at the issue and decide HOW YOU FEEL AND NOT HOW SOMEONE ELSE FEELS! Knowledge is key, be a leader dont just follow the crowd or your parents. Be yourself and trust in yourself to make your own judgements!

What happens if haven't been to see your p.o in several months but have tried reaching him and haven't paid and the cops come out to your house looking for you but you wasn't there.

If you paid what you owed would you be ok?

My 5 year old came home saying "My teacher said that Bush is a real *****!" I asked how she felt. She said she believed what ever the teacher told her. I told my child to believe what she wanted to. Apparently, the teacher told her to call a number if her parents said anything like that because a couple hours later CPS showed up and took her away!

Liberals prefer to fight PC wars (everyone would prefer no war). A PC war is essentially when you sacrifice your troops in order to prevent collateral damage. A stray bullet is considered collateral damage and so is dropping a nuke on a populated area just to kill Osama bin Laden. Now, while this sounds all lovey and goody, a war has never been won fighting this way. So why fight a war this way?

We in the United States have been victims of fascism and internal terrorism since 2000's rigged election. Over 6000 of are people have been killed at least half by the direct hand of our own government. The real enemy lives in a big white house on 1500 Pennsylvania Ave Washington DC. Sometime in the next decade the populace will come to grips with these facts, and I personally am scared to death of the fact that the enemy does have weapons of mass destruction, and will probably use them on us. God bless the people of this once great land.

Corruption in Mexico remains endemic. This is a country, after all, where one in 20 students has paid a bribe to get a diploma, one in 10 drivers has received a license through a payoff, and one in four residents has bribed city workers to pick up the garbage, according to a survey by the watchdog group Mexican Transparency
