The Bin Laden Audiotape

November 20, 2002 | Issue 38•43

Last week, al-Jazeera aired an audiotape purportedly of Osama bin Laden praising the Sept. 11 attacks. What do you think about the possibility that bin Laden is alive?

Linda Kingery,
Librarian
"I have my suspicions that this tape is older than al-Jazeera claims, mostly because of the way bin Laden peppers his speech with 'fer sure' and 'tubular.'"

Young Man

Todd Buhner,
Landscaper
"Hell, that could be anyone's voice. Even I can do bin Laden... 'Oh, yes, I very much like to blow up the buildings, sir.' No, you sound Indian."

Old Man

Bill Cotto,
Electrical
Engineer

"Bin Laden... alive? It's a Christmastime miracle!"

"You mean our bombing the crap out of Afghanistan and threatening war with Iraq hasn't softened his anti-American stance? That can't be right."

Asian Man

Bob Bankhead,
Bus Driver
"Hey, I'm way ahead of you. I know this place down on Canal Street that had bootleg copies of the tape a week before al-Jazeera."

Black Man

George Brantley,
Systems
Analyst

"I don't know which is more terrifying—that bin Laden is still alive or that al-Qaeda may be in cahoots with Rich 'Man Of A Thousand Voices' Little."
