(11,040 posts)You keep digging your hole deeper and then suggest that I'm the one who should leave the thread to sink? Too funny. Yes, there IS "evidence" of a confession. Whether or not it is "hard" evidence is clearly a matter of opinion.

Back to the irony thing, huh. Thanks; you know how much I appreciate that. Here is your "simple logic" restated in a form that should make the flaws obvious, even to you:
An FBI PR guy is required to agree with your opinion that a video of bin Laden bragging to his friends about his involvement must be considered "hard evidence," so when he said in a casual phone interview that the FBI didn't have any "hard evidence" that means the video must be fake or the translation must be inaccurate.
Calling that a weak argument would be giving it too much credit; it's just a silly argument involving both an unsound premise and an invalid inference. You keep talking about "logic" but you seem to be oblivious to the fact that "logic" has a specific meaning, and it's not whatever pops into your head.
