Osama bin Laden was presented as the mastermind of the attack since the day it happened. No credible evidence has ever been presented to support this allegation, which has been used as a pretext for bombing Afghanistan and killing thousands of people.

The evidence most cited to connect bin Laden to the 9/11/01 attacks is a translation of a videotape supposedly captured during a raid on a house in Jalalabad. Transcripts of the tape, such as the one published by CNN, contain the following excerpt. ¹

We calculated in advance the number of casualties from the enemy, who would be killed based on the position of the tower. We calculated that the floors that would be hit would be three or four floors. I was the most optimistic of them all. (...Inaudible...) Due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only. This is all that we had hoped for".

If one studies the character in the tape that is allegedly bin Laden it is readily apparent that he is a different person.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT A US GOVERNMENT LIE

On Friday 14 December 2001 a videotape of Osama bin Laden "confessing" to the 9/11 attacks was released.

The tape was supposedly found in a house in Qandahar, Afghanistan. The recording was of very poor audio and visual quality and the authenticity of the tape was questioned. This annoyed President Bush who said "[It is] preposterous to think this tape was doctored". [Guardian]

Okay, let's have a look.

Here's 5 Osama's - which is the odd one out?

Even Mr Magoo would have to say that Osama 'E' stands out like a sore thumb, and this is the man on the "confession" tape. Between the nose and the cheeks it is clear that this man is NOT Osama.

It does not get any more obvious than this.
