I love how that explanation talks about how they suspect that the 'fatty' bin Laden looks like altered video because of the halo effect around the head, all the while ignoring the rather obvious halo effect in the 'real' pic that THEY POSTED. |

Well, you do have me there. It's been a while since I've looked at that site, and I rushed through reading that page.
However, with that in mind, I have to ask, what's the point? Nearly the entire foundation for their argument that the video was doctored is that halo. If they're going to concede the existence of a halo around the 'undoctored' film, but then still use the halo as an excuse for examining the 'doctored' film... well, that's just stupid.
Some of their other 'points' are pretty out there as well. I mean,

If this is true then it suggests bin Ladin is a real, live person, out there somewhere, not doing the bidding of the US Government. In which case why has he, or some other al Qaeda spokesman, not pointed out that this tape is a fake? |
Really?
also point out that bin Ladin denied being involved with 9/11 soon after the attacks. If this is true then it suggests bin Ladin is a real, live person, out there somewhere, not doing the bidding of the US Government.
Wait, how do you make the logical connection here? Oh yes, I forget, the US absolutely doesn't have a reputation for building up scumbags and then turning on them when the time is appropriate.
In which case why has he, or some other al Qaeda spokesman, not pointed out that this tape is a fake?
Why in god's name would they bother? I mean, at the least, who would believe them? I mean, I realize US foreign policy is dependent on crafting a Dudley Do-Right vs. Snidley Whiplash view of the world for the gullible public to swallow, but come on... bastards they may be, but they're not stupid.

Also, BW, are you so desperate to 'score points' against me that you felt the need to start a whole new topic to address something this relatively pointless?

As I can only post in Critics' Corner, I had to start a new topic in order to say anything at all. On reflection, it was a bit OTT to do so, I must have been in a particularly feisty mood that day. Sorry! |
