They're ALL FAKE! He dead!

Bin Laden tape a fake, Swiss lab says
Nobody bought the latest video of the dead guy, so of course they blame the fake on "The Toilet." -- Mike Rivero, What Really Happened
"There is a running debate among video analysts about whether al-Qaida faked the video altogether. This lead to the suspicion that the video is not new, but disguised to appear as new.
Farid does admit...there are things he does not understand:
“The only time there are mentions of current events are during still frames, when Bin Laden is not actually moving. To suggest that he is perhaps dead — and this video is actually a fake— I don't think that you can necessarily draw that conclusion from the video. I suspect that there are simpler arguments, like when you're editing video, you often have to make cuts and breaks. Or they could have had only one shot at the shoot."
The lack of any clear “fingerprint” from a digital camera on the video is a major problem. He agrees that this may not be accidental:
“There might be due to the technical reason, but it is true that it might be intentional— [that] they don't want people to find any trace [of the ‘fingerprint’] from the videos.”
The CIA will not say what it thinks about the possibility, but a senior U.S. intelligence official tells NBC News the U.S. believes the tape is new. He would not discuss the reasons why intelligence analysts feel that way. Another even more senior intelligence official dismissed the possibility that that beard is fake, but would not discuss the reason for the darkened beard.
Despite the debate over the most recent Bin Laden video, there is no debate among private analysts or intelligence officials about the increasing use of digital editing, in some cases sophisticated editing in the videos released by al-Qaida.
How about the voice editing?
“They use multiple overlays. I suspect they have a portable green screen or black fabric they use for the shoot, then edit the video with multiple overlays all of which can be seen in a forensic analysis of the video."
The most basic software, from Adobe or Microsoft, can yield the required effects. Nor is the editing time-consuming, especially since digital editing is now so common in al-Qaida videos.
Why the subterfuge? Some of it may just be for production value… But in the case of Bin Laden and Zawahiri, showing them in stable office-like locations has propaganda value. They’re not living in caves or even mud huts, but comfortably, in well-appointed surroundings."
And CUI BONO, readers?!?! And shit-eating doesn't count!"
