Not only have the translators of OBL’s messages not been independent enough for my taste, but, as this article points out, the US media have also been grossly misinterpreting his messages. Whenever they report on a new tape they leave out the conditional statements within OBL’s messages. His threats are never outright statements of intention to strike but mere warnings that if the USA continue to attck him and his allies he will retaliate.
