Why not? I don't speak either Arab nor Japanese and thus have to rely on the
media. So I'm waiting for more from Doug's friend and have no doubts about
Bin Laden's responsibility for the 9/11-attacks. I have to believe this
translation in which he confesses his guilt:

"Three months after our blessed attack against the main infidel West,
especially America (...)."

It's strange with those "Bluff & Bluster Companies" like CNN these days -
they inevitably spread the confessions together with the propaganda.
