"I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons," bin Laden's statement said.
The United States should try to trace the perpetrators of these attacks within itself; the people who are a part of the U.S. system, but are dissenting against it. Or those who are working for some other system; persons who want to make the present century as a century of conflict between Islam and Christianity so that their own civilization, nation, country, or ideology could survive. They can be anyone, from Russia to Israel and from India to Serbia. In the U.S. itself, there are dozens of well-organized and well-equipped groups, which are capable of causing a large-scale destruction. Then you cannot forget the American Jews, who are annoyed with President Bush ever since the elections in Florida and want to avenge him.

Bin Laden Confession Shown to be Different Person

LOL. Well, besides all that and some major nose and forhead surgery, comparing the gray luminosity of the beards, which seem pretty similar in both, OBL got a heck of a suntan at some point. Must have been because he was on the run in the sun instead of in the caves.
And the voices? Well, they really don't seem to much alike to my ear.

Even though I'm not down with every particular truther claim by a long shot, nothing really seemed to require Bin Laden to work.
I will say that this definitely doesn't not look right at all. The structure of the face seems all wrong; a small amount of additional weight has no bearing on that.
I'm thinking I may have seen the tape somewhere one time without the suggestion of labelling (or missed it) and never thought it was supposed to be him.
There is an actual video of the purported confession but it's not a plain version. I would like a bit cleaner version of the "confession" video though to compare with pictures, just as confirmation.
Yes, at the very least it suggests a campaign to justify war under false pretenses but that really is not surprising.
