psyops?[edit]

This is just my personal speculation, maybe not relevant here, but anyone else think that the intent of the leak is to pressure Osama bin Laden to release something, to give the people trying to track him down a lead? TRWBW 20:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is indeed personal speculation, and talk pages are ment to discuss the construction of articles, not for POV.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 10:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
