that area of the pentagon was closed off because of construction, and when was the last time you looked twice at construction going on in new york city, it's a constant thing, buildings are constantly being worked on and updated, it's not hard to believe that they could bring in explosives and set them up in places not normally seen by the everyday public. On top of that, there are people who have reported suspicious people doing suspicious things inside the buildings, the only problem with "witnesses" is that a lot of them were killed when the building came down, of the few that got out there are even fewer who saw things happening, or were holding off total shock enough to actually put two and two together.

oh and when was the last time you saw osama bin laden give a real interview, or talk publicly? oh right never, everything you've ever heard about or from osama is released by the US and is always video quality too crappy to invalidate the dubbed audio and is always subtitled from a language that maybe a few dozen people not in the military could actually translate. Right so we should take everything the US GOVERNMENT releases to us through mainstream media as undeniable FACT!? are you kidding me, take the osama tapes at face value. Not to mention he's CIA trained and equipped, he's owes us.

BIN LADEN ADMITS 9/11 RESPONSIBILITY, WARNS OF MORE ATTACKS

A tape aired by Al-Jazeera television Friday showed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden admitting for the first time that he orchestrated the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and saying the United States could face more.

The Response to the Sept. 11 Attacks



It was the first footage of bin Laden to appear in more than a year and came just days before voters head to the polls Tuesday after an extremely tight president race.

In the 18-minute tape, bin Laden, who appeared to be sitting or standing at a table against a neutral background, said: "Despite entering the fourth year after Sept. 11, Bush is still deceiving you and hiding the truth from you and therefore the reasons are still there to repeat what happened."

Bin Laden said he thought of the method of attacking U.S. skyscrapers when he saw Israeli aircraft bombing tower blocks in Lebanon in 1982.

"We decided to destroy towers in America," he said. "God knows that it had not occurred to our mind to attack the towers, but after our patience ran out and we saw the injustice and inflexibility of the American-Israeli alliance toward our people in Palestine and Lebanon, this came to my mind."

Although there was no way to authenticate the tape or say when it was made, it referenced the upcoming presidential election.

"Your security is not in the hands of (Democratic candidate John) Kerry or Bush or al-Qaida. Your security is in your own hands," bin Laden said, according to the Associated Press.

"To the U.S. people, my talk is to you about the best way to avoid another disaster. I tell you: Security is an important element of human life and free people do not give up their security.

"If Bush says we hate freedom, let him tell us why we didn't attack Sweden, for example. It is known that those who hate freedom do not have dignified souls, like those of the 19 blessed ones," he said, referring to the 19 hijackers.

"We fought you because we are free ... and want to regain freedom for our nation. As you undermine our security, we undermine yours."

An editor at Al-Jazeera said the network received the tape Friday but did not say how, Reuters reported.

In September 2003, Al-Jazeera aired a tape of bin Laden with his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri in which he mentions five Sept. 11 hijackers by name.

An audiotape, which CIA analysts said was likely bin Laden, surfaced in April and called for a truce with European nations if they pulled troops out of Muslim countries.
