Creative Speculation
In reply to the discussion: Osama Confession Video [View all]The Doctor.

Video has been used both to indict and prosecute individuals since its inception. It is practically the very definition of 'hard evidence'.
Tombs stated what he knew, and he never refuted his claim. What he stated was not 'an opinion'. I understand that you, like so many people these days, can't tell the difference between facts and opinions, so I'll help you out a little: a 'fact' is either 'true' or 'false'. An opinion is neither true or false, it just has degrees of validity. If someone states a fact that is not true, then it is a 'lie'.
So either Tombs was lying, or he was stating a fact. Since his statement was never refuted by the FBI or anyone else, the conclusion is that his was a statement of fact.
What I just did there is called 'logical reasoning'. You should give it a shot sometime.
Lemme guess, it's also not a 'fact' that Obama was born in the US, right? Because I can use your exact reasoning to shoot down all the evidence that he was.
But the best part is how you go on to say that the video is not 'hard evidence' thereby proving my entire point. There is no 'hard evidence' linking bin Laden to 9/11.
Thanks for stepping up for me.
