This is a response to Dr. Griffin's article:

Osama Bin Laden: Dead or Alive?
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article23691.htm

Oh Dr. Griffin--

You keep making avoidable mistakes and sabotaging your own credibility.

This article has two serious mistakes, that shouldn't be repeated ignorantly. They both go back to the "confession tape."

1) Griffin should know by now that the video was converted and so the aspect ratio was changed. The PAL (European standard) to NTSC (American standard) conversion squishes the vertical by 17%. This is the reason the "actor" did not appear to be Osama bin Laden. Once the video frames are converted back to their proper ratio, they appear to be exactly Osama bin Laden. This was while he was still alive in September or October of 2001.

Study this article carefully:

(Original webpage offline, but this pdf version includes the same material.)

2) Griffin falsely states:

"...besides the fact that bin Laden had nothing to do with 9/11..."

This is NOT a fact but Griffin's opinion. Griffin knows better than to claim his opinion as fact, so this is inexcusable.

That is no "fact" at all. What we know is that the government lied about the specifics. They lied about funding. They lied about numerous things. What bin Laden's ACTUAL role in any of this truly has yet to be determined. It sits in highly classified files which would implicate US "allies" in the 9/11 crime.

Hiding this information from the public is treason, it should be noted, as it gives "aid and comfort" to the "enemy."

Griffin has gone out on a limb to claim bin Laden is innocent of 9/11. What he should have done is point out that even if bin Laden was involved SO WERE THE INTELLIGENCE SERVICES OF SAUDI, PAK, ISRAEL, USA, and potentially others.

Bin Laden's involvement in no way exonerates high level US government personnel, or the governments of other nations who have a long history of ASSISTING bin Laden and "al Qaeda." This is a far more important issue than exploring endlessly the opinions about what bin Laden may or may not have done 8 years ago.

Griffin provides no email contact, and seriously, he should know better. These issues have been argued ad infinitum already. On other topics Griffin is far more credible as he explores all the possibilities without claiming his opinion as fact. In this case, he has slipped up.
