This makes me draw the conclusion that our government shut down that site.
I hope I am wrong.
DW
Per Fox News.
Personally, I assume that the jihadis shut down the sites because it was not intended that the US Gov’t get the tape ahead of the people.
Whether this means that they are pulling back the *go* signal, or that they are now trying to find the leaker, I don’t know.
I lean more towards the *find the leaker* scenerio, however.
Only Al-Qaida has this kind of power to shut down the websites. The US just can’t match this kind of capability, right? I mean, uh, how ludicrous to think the US would/could even do that!
RE:
“Another possibility is that the U.S. government shut down the sites, but that was unlikely, he said.
“I don’t think they would have the legal or technical capability to do so, to collectively shut all these sites at the same time. Also, I don’t think the U.S. government is necessarily interested in shutting these sites down, unless there is something so provocative and dangerous in what bin Laden is saying.”
“It’s pretty remote that the content of his speech is so incendiary that they would shut down all the sites. The idea that they (U.S. government) could totally prevent this from coming out on the Internet is ludicrous,” he said. . .
Fox news just showed a portion of the tape. Sky news seems to have a copy.
I know the media thinks that they are preventing Al Qaeda from spewing there hatred by not airing these things.
This video will come out.

” . . .Bin Laden comes close to offering a date for the tape with this by saying, “... just a few days ago, the Japanese observed the 62nd anniversary of the annihilation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by your nuclear weapons.” The anniversary was on August 6.”
It’s definately new. He mentions the mortgage finance crisis.
Accept Islam! Lower your tax rates!
DIdn’t the web sites go down before 9/11. If I am remembering right before an attack they all go down or am I wrong on that.
Well, they went “quiet” before 9/11.
Chatter had been extraordinarily high until a few days prior to the event. Then they ceased virtually all communication.
I believe this has been the case for several other attacks they’re responsible for.
The stock market is tanking. It started before the transcript became available.
I am glad it wasn’t the government.
Just means we need to really be concerned and watchful.
I guess he has nothing new for us, but continues to build his case for the next attack that will likely be much larger than 9/11.
Maybe, his remark on our economy and our mortgage problems, is a sign to attack our financial district.
Regarding post no. 429:
It’s phosgene.
There’s a link on that post that details how it works.
Regarding the German plot and the Denmark arrests and other AQ arrests...I believe it’s a series of incidents.
Or to look at in a simple way, “Jihad — another day.”
