If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck, and is filmed planning duck activities... it must be a Moose?

According to a report written in Arabic at al Jazeera's Website, the television station has obtained a video which shows al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden meeting with the planner and two of the nineteen hijackers who participated in the 9/11 attacks five years ago.
"The video showed bin Laden sitting with his former lieutenant Mohammed Atef and Ramzi Binalshibh, another suspected planner of the Sept. 11, 2001, suicide hijackings," reports the Associated Press.
"In the video, bin Laden was wearing a dark robe and white headgear walking in a mountainous area," the AP article continues. "He smiled as he greeted several men, which the tape said were Sept. 11 hijackers."
According to Reuters, the video "also contained parts of taped 'wills' of two of the September 11 attackers."
"Al Jazeera said the footage documented the 'daily life' of al Qaeda operatives as they trained and prepared for the attacks in the mountains of Afghanistan," reported Reuters.
Only yesterday, Ramzi bin al-Shibh was tranferred by President Bush to the prison at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba, along with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and twelve other "high profile" detainees who had previously been held by the CIA in "secret prisons" across the world.
"Bin al-Shibh was said to have been a would-be 9/11 hijacker who was foiled by his inability to obtain a US visa," reported The Guardian earlier today. "He was said to have fled Afghanistan after the overthrow of the Taliban in late 2001 and headed to Karachi."
"There, he and Mohammed worked on 'follow-on plots against the west, particularly the Heathrow plot'...before his capture in 2002," reported the British newspaper.
