5. ABC must be embarassed for airing it!
Why are you making fun of Sears Portrait Studios???
It's so obvious that the tape was made in a WAL-MART Portrait Studio!!!

10. You've got to be kidding me. I saw an excerpt of the video on Aaron Brown.
I couldn't stop laughing the thing looked so fake !!!! It's some dork dressed up as an Al Qaeda threatening Americans in English using a fake Arabic accent...half the time he can't even maintain his accent !

Even the freepers have dimissed this video already. Watch the video and be shocked, not by the contents but by the facts you will agree with the freepers !!! This video is a joke.

Yes. There is the occasional Bush-Cheney campaign employee (you can notice them by their good english) acting as if the video is serious, but even their freaky friends aren't buying it and they are giving up !!!

11. CNN article link
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/10/28/terror.tape/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- After a technical analysis, the CIA cannot determine whether a videotape obtained by ABC News in Pakistan featuring a man claiming to be affiliated with al Qaeda is authentic, a U.S. intelligence official said Thursday.

"We have been unable to verify the tape's authenticity," the official said.

Portions of the 75-minute tape were aired Thursday evening by ABC News, which said it obtained the tape from a source known to have Taliban and al Qaeda contacts in the tribal regions of Pakistan.

13. You should have seen the ones who didn't pass the audition
"Gary" from Team America was more convincing.
