I know, I know

I know that both of our fans dislike political stuff, but the new bin Laden tape touched a nerve, so here's a quick, concise, fact-based rant:

Reuters:
"The authenticity of the tape could not immediately be verified but the voice sounded like bin Laden's."

Fox News:
"The authenticity of the message could not be verified, but it was posted on a Web site commonly used by Al Qaeda and the voice resembled the one in past bin Laden audiotapes."

ABC News:"The authenticity of the tape was not immediately confirmed by U.S. officials, but people familiar with bin Laden's voice said there was no doubt it was his."

United Press: "Western analysts on Friday were attempting to authenticate an audiotape thought to be from Osama bin Laden and containing anti-Israel threats."

Me: He's dead.
