In a World Where Terrorists Make Movies

Pass the popcorn and the six-dollar Coke; bin Laden is now having his diatribes hyped by a PR machine more effective than Hollywood. It's really too bad these tapes are all the same.  After awhile they get a little repetitive like watching those ads for Fitness Made Simple ad infinitum.  I can almost quote them.
Terror leader Osama bin Laden will release a new Internet message dealing with Somalia and Iraq, according to a Web posting Friday.

The site that frequently carries messages from the terror network has begun sending out teasers for an upcoming release, saying bin Laden will talk about Somalia and Iraq, according to the IntelCenter.

The latest message carries a banner saying, “Good news, soon: To the Islamic nation, and the mujahedeen in Iraq and Somalia in particular, from Sheik Osama bin Laden.” Included in the posting is a picture of bin Laden.

Sight unseen, I'm going to have to give it one middle finger up.  I'll reserve judgment on the second until I've actually seen it.  It's too bad he can't release them on betamax and spare us the 'excitement.'
