I can’t find the better two photos that show this now - but as an professional artist/photographer, I can tell you that the “new” clip is from the old one.
Here’s a couple links about it tho’
on MSNBC “NBC: Footage of al-Qaida leader may be from before Sept. 11 attacks”

So as to your question. Why? I was also an investigative reporter (I’m now an old retired granny) and I have been dismayed at what passes for journalism today. It seems as tho’ no ones goes out and “gets” the story, or delves into the veracity of a story anymore. They just cop and parrot stories from other sources. Laziness.
OK, the tape is a regurgitation... and the Administration “admitted” (to use Prison planet’s word) that it was probably a rehash... I like how the “reporter” slips those suggestive phrases into the storyline.
But why use a source as suspect as is prison planet? Are these not the same crackpots who think America did not land a man on the moon? Are these not the “black helicopter over America” / contrail nuts? Are these not the same who believe the Pentagon was brought down by an American missile... that the WTC was a CIA demolitions project? Etc, etc... Alex Jones has less than zero credibility when he talks seriously about “owl-worshiping” pols, friend and foe alike, gathered from the four corners of the world, to some “Bohemian Grove.”
Other than that... the thing is an issue of sloppy reporting and assumptions.
