To be posted to the (UK) Sunday Times tomorrow starting at noon, GMT. Unfortunately no sound, apparently.
You can almost hear Alex Jones saying "Come on, Osama, we've almost got you guys off the hook! Can you stop cutting us off at the knees with these videos?"
BTW, there's a picture on the front page of the Times' website that is interesting. I've heard and read several women claim that Atta was a handsome guy, but this is the first picture I've seen that shows it. He does look a little like Charlie Manson.
To the Germans who knew them in Hamburg they seemed entirely normal. The tape explains this mistake. It would be hard to look less homicidal — until the camera pulls back and reveals that Atta is sitting next to an AK-47.
So the tape not only fills a gap in the story of September 11 but also provides chilling proof of the difficulty of fighting Islamic terrorism: these two “normal”, happy, unthreatening individuals turned out to have an explosive effect on the history of the 21st century.
