The U.S. State Dept's raising of the security level and the release of the tape were very much related. Osama is not coming back any time soon unless you believe he is some kind of god or saint. He's been dead for quite some time. Any new releases will never be "proven" as either authentic or inauthentic. It is simply a ploy to win popular support for action. You can make your own judgement who is provoking action from whom.
Osama did not survive the nightmarish bombings in Afghanistan. His pack moving out of Afghanistan towards northern Pakistan was hit by so many different strikes, using so many types of ordnance, it doesn't matter if he was hiding behind trees or under rocks. There were very few human remains left after the bombing. If he survived it was not moving out through Pakistan as its claimed. He could not have escape with a pack of bodyguards as claimed becuase his circle of personal bodyguards is as tight as that of Saddam. DNA did link bodyguards to the site of the bombings.
Its very plausible that terrorism will strike by Friday. We, as Americans, are caught between two dangerous forces. On one side is four corners of the world that hate us due to our meddling this past fifty years. On the other side is a federal government led by cabinet of wicked men that have resorted to plotting its own attacks upon the American people in order to sway popular support. Its not pretty.
