Like I said, it does not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. The body proves that.
A reasonable person would be able to draw the conclusion that if the United States made the story up entirely, his wife, daughter and Al Qaeda would
be the first to yell foul. I have not heard any accusations of that whatsoever from any of those people.
If it comes out that their confirmation was completely falsified and reasonable proof of such is provided then I will reconsider. But at this point,
I am making a judgement on the evidence provided.
Yes but a reasonable person would not base their judgements on hearsay either, which is all we have at this point.
No concrete facts whatsoever.
When judgeing wether there is any validity to "facts" being put forward by the administration and CORPORATE media, I like to examine the "facts"
being presented as if they were being submitted in a court of law.
Al Qaeda did not publicly confirm Bin Laden's death last weekend. There is no video or audio from any of the people we know to belong to the
organization. What we do have are anonymous comments posted on a Jihadi website known to be frequented by terrorists.
Now in a court of law, would this be accepted as proof that someone died?
What stops me from joining the same website and getting an Arabic friend to post that Bin Laden died in my basement nine years ago and is now
peacefully sleeping under the bed of roses in my backyard?
Would it make the statement true just because it appears on a Jihadi website??
As for the wife and daughter, where are they? The corporate media is reporting statements supposedly coming from them but no actual video footage of
them saying any of it. No images of them either, not recently taken or ever.
In court, would you accept third party statements (which is what the media are reporting) as fact or hearsay?
I have seen some photos of a passport that is claimed to belong to the wife but considering how easily a passport can be faked, is that enough proof
to base the death of someone on, especially when there is no body to speak of and the only people who claim there was a death, also claim the body was
dumped in the middle of the sea? Convenient to also murder three witnesses that were on site...
All you have here is hearsay and no actual concrete facts to prove Bin Laden was there and died last week.
Ive followed Mid East politics for years and am not so easily dupped by the lies and deceit of the American Administration, regardless of who's in
office.
I see it all the time.
