So there's a guy on another forum that posts up Prison Planet crap on a regular basis. This (http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/february2008/020108_second_time.htm) is his latest copy and paste job:
The death of "senior Al-Qaeda leader" Abu Laith al-Libi is being celebrated by Neo-Cons as a reason for continuing the endless war on terror - absent one crucial detail - the corporate media widely reported that another "senior Al-Qaeda leader" named al-Libi had been arrested back in May 2005. The American people have been fooled again in another case of mass public deception.
There was much lip-smacking and high-fiving three years ago about how the capture of "Al-Qaeda number three," a certain Mr. Al Libi, would lead to crucial information about Al-Qaeda's plans and even the whereabouts of fabled Goldstein mirage Osama "bin dead for years" Laden, presumably after al-Libi had received the proper welcome from the land of the free in the form of fifty thousand volts shooting through his genitals.
In actual fact, the al-Libi that had been caught was Abu Faraj al-Libi, not Abu Laith al-Libi. Abu Faraj al-Libi was described as Al-Qaeda "flotsam jetsam" by the London Times, ie some semi-retarded goatherder shoved onto the front lines under the threat of a beheading - and not the fearsome Laith al-Libi, third in command behind Al-Zawahiri and Bin Laden.
Ok. So. Anyone care to explain why they're off the mark here? Given their credibility, I'm assuming this is hogwash.
I would do the legwork, but the thing is I've had my Civ 4 game on pause since the beginning of the week, and the New World is about to receive the civilizing touch of Lincoln's advanced society.
So if someone can debunk this for me, I can fulfill my Manifest Destiny AND have a salvo ready for my ongoing battle with this persistent and unabashed Troofer.
