The recent "Osama letter" has been discussed ad nauseum by freepers, and the general concensus is that it is an internet hoax. A poorly crafted forgery. bin Laden couldn't give a rodent's rear end about Kyoto. It is the absurd fabrication of a loser. Nothing more, nothing less.

The recent "Osama letter" has been discussed ad nauseum by freepers, and the general concensus is that it is an internet hoax. A poorly crafted forgery. bin Laden couldn't give a rodent's rear end about Kyoto. It is the absurd fabrication of a loser. Nothing more, nothing less.

I absolutely agree.

The news here is not authenticity of the fake bin Laden letter -- the news is Azzam is gaining in credulity.

1. This letter has been up at the Azzam site for several weeks  and no one cared about it until the Guardian, Reuters, et. al. started thinking it was genuine.
2. It is written in the style of the Azzam.com writers
3. bin Laden doesn't use numerically ordered lists in his writing style.
4. The real reason bin Laden's style is so stilted is because he's forced to dictate it from beyond the grave in a spiritualist séance.
