That may be considered aiding and abetting terrorism by holding such info back.

I beleive that this statment speaks for its self
Saudi Arabia is to me the most nefarious, secretive muslim nation of them all. Who finances terrorism? Who harbors terrorists? Who has a news agency that holds imformation from western nations and is biased towards them? Saudi Arabia.
Until we can break our hold on the need for Saudi Oil we will have to handle them some other way...how about...
Perhaps if it was held back from the U.S. government (we do not know), but CNN?
<strong>"The U.S. government will lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life."
I beleive that this statment speaks for its self</strong><hr></blockquote>
I don't understand? Are you agreeing with OBL or using this as an example of how he's wrong?
I dont know, but this seems almost too perfect a statment. I dont like to be a conspiracy theorist (Ok, I do, but I dont like to beleive them), but theres almost an unreal cartoon super villany here. This whole incedent (911) really reminds me of some bad comic book, you have "The [muslim] Evil doers" who "Hate freedom" saying statments like the previously stated, trying to "destroy freedom" by attacking the western world.
To tell you the truth this really reminds me of the cold war, where we had to go into places like Vietnam in order to prevent the spread of evil that is communism from reaching the rest of the world.
Now throw in that Osama has a couple of things right, immediatly after the attacks there was the patriot act, the introduction of Carnivore, a scaling up of the powers of the police, FBI, and CIA, the introduction of DMCA part deux (what was it called? IAAA or something? And what ever happened to it? Did it get passed?), the media.... dont get me started on the media, you just cant trust TV any more... or could you ever?and a definate 'bout of "Americans giving up their freedoms in order to protect their freedom" (Likened by a Canadian satirist to burning the siding on your house in order to keep warm).
Now of course, where should we direct the hatred of these actions? The man who attempted to, quote "...lead the American people in -- and the West in general -- into an unbearable hell and a choking life."
Ok, maybe I went too far with the last statment, but surely you can see the catoonish things going on here, its unreal.
Add on the US branding the enemies of the countries that they backing "Terrorists" (they are unde the definition of Terrorism, but then again so is the FBI and Police)
Many hoped that 9-11 would be the end of cynicism. Too bad it wasn't.

<strong>I guess you could call it unreal. But 9-11 was very real. Real people died and a real terrorist hiding in a cave did it. His real goal is to kill us and end our civilization. He said so himself. You may not take him seriously but we do.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I do think Toolboi is trying to say quite what you imply. Remember, a border only means so much, Most sane people don't believe that if the U.S. was 'destroyed' the rest of the world -- Canada especially -- would be just fine. This problem involves all of us. The events of 9/11 affected EVERYONE in the 'civilized' world.
You are way too paranoid, my friend.

<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/02/01/cheney.al.jazeera/index.html" target="_blank">Now, it seems that Cheney put pressure on Qatar,</a> where Al-Jazeera is based, to stop airing bin Laden.
Still think it was pro-terrorist to decline to air this?
