What is it with this term? Everytime an audio tape shows up from Osama, the media uses this word religiously. How many times have you read this line in a news story in the past few years:
"A tape purported to be from Osama bin Laden surfaced today saying bla bla bla."
When did this word become the hip thing for journalists? And while we are on the subject, what is it with the audio tapes? You would think that a guy who is purported (ha ha) to be the great leader of terror in the world could do a little better than a little crappy audio tape. Get with the program Osama...anyone who is anyone has their own website. They even let me have one, which is funny. You can record your little diddies on a camera phone these days and give it to one of your boys to run on Al Jazeera. I can see it now...a dude with a long gray beard sitting in a dark cave in the middle of nowhere with a battery powered tape recorder. Not exactly the type of guy I would be following.
