The interview below with Osama bin Laden was conducted by the Karachi, Pakistan, daily newspaper, Ummat and published on September 28, 2001, 17 days after the alleged, but unsubstantiated, al Qaeda attack of September 11, 2001, on the World Trade Center twin towers and Pentagon. The interview was sensational. The alleged “mastermind” of 9/11 said that he and al Qaeda had nothing to do with the 9/11 attack. The British Broadcasting Corporation’s World Monitoring Service had the interview translated into English and made public on September 29, 2001.
Osama bin Laden’s sensational denial was not reported by the US print and TV media. It was not investigated by the executive branch. No one in the US Congress called attention to bin Laden’s refusal of responsibility for the greatest humiliation ever inflicted on a superpower.
To check my memory of the lack of coverage, I googled “Osama bin Laden’s interview denying responsibility for 9/11.” Some Internet sites reproduced the interview, but the only mainstream news source that I found was a 1 minute YouTube video from CNN in which the anchor, after quoting an al Jazeera report of bin Laden’s denial, concludes that “we can all weigh that in the scale of credibility and come to our own conclusions.” In other words, bin Laden had already been demonized, and his denial was not credible.
The sensational news was unfit for US citizens and was withheld from them by the american “free press,” a press free to lie for the government but not to tell the truth.

That helicopter in Afghanistan sent into a trap.
Blog tease.
I’ll say it’s ‘very interesting’

But NOT very funny.

Craig reads like a true anti-semite, sorry, can’t get interested in his odd blog.
The truth about Osama’s death has been known for years, dead in a rivalry conflict in Pakistan in 2005.
The details are here on Threat Matrix, including the alert to the then DIA chief.
But of course the kooks are more interested in how Osama had nothing to do with 9.11 and how Busch blew up the WTC. I have never seen a more gullible people outside the “Arab Street”.
Looks like a troofer or something, which would plonk him down squarely in the antisemite bin.
“Craig reads like a true anti-semite, sorry, can’t get interested in his odd blog.”
That is a ridiculous statement, on par with calling anything you don’t like “racist.”
Roberts is a very serious man, and this story should (but will not) get a wide audience.

Paul Craig Roberts is a disturbed individual. I’d put no more credence in anything he said than I would anything out of the mouths of people in the Obama admin.
Roberts is a “truther” nutcase
Sure you have.
One gaping hole in your tinfoil "theory", none of the SEALs killed in the Chinook shoot down were on the Bin Laden raid.
“Osama” lost me when he said muslims don’t lie,
and they don’t target women and children.
However, the deaths of those 30 seals (a separate matter) certainly bears investigating.
