[Vision2020] Bin Laden tape

[Thomas Hansen]

I believe that Bin Laden's motives are two-fold.

1)  Bin Laden releasing a public communication would create controversy in
the United States over its authenticity, secret messages, etc..  

2)  Bin Laden's support for Iraq is circumstantial under the heading "My
Enemy's Enemy is My Friend".  This may be an attempt to allied all (or aat
least the radical) Muslim countries against the great Satan.

I find it curious that an adminstration that, in the past, has pleaded with 
the networks to refrain from playing alleged Osama Bin Laden audio tapes on 
the air for fear of the tapes releasing secret coded messages to terrorist 
cells fell all over itself rushing the tape to the public's attention 
yesterday.  One wonders what Bin Laden's true motives are, he hates Saddam, 
and had to realize that the Bush administration would jump all over this as 
further proof and justification for war with Iraq.  And then tell us to 
stock up on plastic, duct tape, and scissors.
