Give me a break.
Only a far right tabloid like the NY Post could call MEMRI "respected"
For more info on this organization, look at this article:

I don't buy this "mistranslation" bit at all.
Even if you do, you would be hardpressed to make the case that Bin Laden truly wants Bush to lose. As Larry Sabato pointed out on the O'Reilly Factor, Bin Laden may be evil, but he's certainly not stupid. Bin Laden knows that if he tells us not to vote for Bush, that's exactly what we'll do. Sabato point blank said that he thinks Bin Laden wants Bush to be re-elected and I tend to agree.
In the end, though, I'm not going to try to read Bin Laden's mind and frankly I don't care. He doesn't even deserve to still be alive, much less listened to. If you let Bin Laden influence your vote either way, you're just giving in to him.
