Despite the fact that the man in the video looks nothing like Bin Laden, the CIA stood by the video
http://thetruthproject.us/2001/09/11/cia-fakes-new-bin-laden-tape/

<snip>Just like Orwell’s ubiquitous Emmanuel Goldstein, Bin Laden always seems to pop up right on cue so we can disengage our minds from reality and join in the two minutes hate.

We are reliably informed by the mainstream media that this is because he is a very clever man and has an impeccable sense of timing. Yet if this is the case, why can he not work out that EVERYTIME he has released a video or a tape it has HELPED Bush and the NeoCon agenda tenfold?

Even the BBC lays this out in the open with the headline Bin Laden threats may boost Bush:

The commander-in-chief has been under intense pressure in recent weeks, accused of trampling on civil liberties in pursuit of terror suspects. His defence has been that America is a nation at war. So Bin Laden’s latest threats to launch new attacks on the US will only serve to underline this argument.

The White House will also cite the tape when trying to convince allies abroad that the use of tough tactics is justified - even when civilians are killed, as in last week’s air raid in Pakistan.

That just says it all really.

Bin Laden was created by US intelligence , worked with US intelligence in the late 70s and 80s, was used as a patsy by US intelligence before and after 911 and is now being used as a manipulative tool of fear by the criminal elite faction currently in power in the US.

The last time Bin Laden appeared was October 2004, exactly three days before the election.

1. What if that is Bin Laden?
Maybe he can't afford a decent camera.

:sarcasm:

2. That's a valid point actually
The last video we saw of "Bin Laden" was grainy and had bad color like all his videos. When's the last time you even saw a VHS camera with quality that poor? Supposedly Bin Laden is very well funded, yet we're supposed to believe his group hasn't made the move to mini-DV yet? Yea, okay, whatever.

4. Asian countries have some of the most advanced technology out there
with thriving business in pirated DVD's and the like.

yet, with all OBL's influence, none of his cronies can manage anything better than images that look like a 15th generation VHS copy.

I guess it's hard to get a decent video camera and switcher hooked up in a cave...

8. If you want the widest possible dissemination of a video to your target
audience then compatibility must be a large concern.

I guess most people living in the Islamic world are still using Betamax. :sarcasm:
