Links are my choice, but do not necessarily reflect my opinion. I often link to articles, sites and blogs with which I disagree. I try to look at all sides, but the fact that I'm human makes it impossible for me to view anything completely objectively. |
27 December, 2001: "Hidden messages shmidden messages"By Kathy Kinsley Fox News (tv) is now showing parts of the latest monster video, but with no sound, for fear that Mr. Osama might have "hidden messages" to impart. I do understand that fear -- but don't they realise that Al Jazeera is showing it, sound and all? Furthermore, do they not realise that Al Jazeera has a website from which one can download portions of that video and play it on one's own computer? Another thing, I can tell you what message he's passing, without resort to any codes. He's been, quite openly, passing basically the same message in every videotape I've seen a translation of.[**] The message is that it is a good thing to attack America and anyone allied (or even cooperating) with her. Al Qaida and its fellow terrorist groups run in independent cells, it is unlikely they need explicit instructions, and if they do, I'm sure there are far more secure ways to get those instructions to them. [**]Anyone who complains to me about ending sentences with prepostions will be treated to a quote from Churchill.
