The time of the original announcement by As-Sahab was late evening Eastern Daylight Timeon 6 September 2007. The first notification Northeast Intelligence Network (www.homelandsecurityus.com) recieved by our jihadi forum watcher was at 10:04 PM.
That Al-Qaeda forum is located on a server in Jordan,which apparently has a parent or feeder server located further east in Maylasia.
At 10 PM EDT it is 7 hours earlier in Jordan, or 5 AM the morning of7th of September, and 10 AM the 7th of September in Maylaysia.
The video was released on 7 September here in the US. The .pdf transcript followed shortly thereafter. (Due to certain electronic media artifacts on the copies, thesix.pdf pages were possibly distributed to theMSM via facsimilie vice email.) Page 1 of the entire .pdf has apparently been embargoed/withheld either by the MSM or the document Originator.
The English-languagetransliterated and transcribed textof bin Laden's speechis dated September 6 2007 with two very differentdateformats. This makes a typographical error for the correct date a very high improbability.
How it is that the CIA obtained this video in advance and was able to issue a transliterated transcript of the text of the bin Laden speech dated prior to the announcement of its existence by As-Sahab?
Based upon analysis of these recent events and associated hard copy evidence, am I noting some evidencehere thatthe CIApossesses aHUMINT source or mole quite deep within the bowels of Al-Qaeda and its media arm of As-Sahab?
Oris this evidence of something entirely different?
In another curiosity...
The transcript of Bin Laden's wordsincludes the following whichI quote verbatim from the .pdf:
"In fact, burning living beings is forbidden in our religion, even if they be small like the ant, so what of man?!"
Is Bin Laden ignoring the burning of the WTC and Pentagon victims? Is he in fact announcing that his jihad is against Islam? And what of the sentence-ending question mark and exclamation point? Is that a verbatim transciption from theaudio of the soft-spoken words of Bin Laden, or is it an arbitrary American/CIA addition?
