In a recently released audio recording, Osama bin Laden is reportedly stating that Zacarias Moussaoui was not involved in the 9/11 attacks. He continues to assert that no one in Guantanamo Bay was involved in the attacks either.

Now, obviously, I cannot say one way or the other for certain. However, I see absolutely no reason to believe bin Laden on this. This seems like the very kind of thing that he would do.

Terrorists are all about terror. And terror is something in your head. It is a mental and emotional state. These are just more head games that Al Qaeda is playing. After all, let's think about this. We have someone who claimed he was involved (who is now saying he wasn't) who has been sentanced to life in prison. No death penalty, no opportunity to be a "martyr for the cause". So how do they turn this to their advantage? Simple:

Say he had nothing to do with it.

That way, even this one little victory becomes empty and hallow. If we allow them to convince us we have the wrong people, we allow them to control us even more than we already have.

Frankly, why should we believe the words of a serial killer, pathologic liar, worthless piece of human trash? We shouldn't.
