I haven't seen any credible evidence that it was a doctored video. What evidence do you have that it was *not* a faked tape? All we can go on is what he looks and sounds like. And at least one Osama "expert" thinks it does not sound like him, that he didn't mention God and seemed overly nationalistic. I don't necessarly think it was faked, but there is always the possibility. Bruce -- --

Ron Well, that would certainly be appropriate. But somehow I think it is going to take more than returned relics to fix some wounds. But perhaps it will get people talking...or even better, LISTENING. But I'm afraid that separate paths of 1000 years are just too far apart to bring together again. There just seem to be too many differences. But I suppose miracles do happen. regards, -Lance -- --
