バリ島の爆破事件はわれわれがやったとアルカイーダが犯行声明を行った、と先日CNNが特ダネとして報道した。それは阿修羅に以下のように紹介された。

しかし、これがどうも怪しいらしいのだ。米国連邦政府と組んだ情報操作の一環の可能性があるようだ。ニュージーランドのインターネット報道メディアの以下の記事を読まれたい。この報道によると、CNNはアルカイーダがインターネット上その声明文をアラビア語発表していたものを英語に翻訳した。と主張するだが、その情報ソースである、インターネットのサイトのアドレス（URL）を示していないというのだ。したがって，検証のしようがなく、実際、BBCなどはこの後追い記事を書いていないという。出所不明の情報なのだ。国防総省副長官、異常なタカ派であるウオルフォビッツがそのサイトを「見たことがある」などと非常に奇妙な発言をして階調を保っているのは非常に白々しい感じがある。どうも、先日発表された別のサイト上の「ビンラーディンの手紙」ともども、でたらめのようなのだ。
CNNよお前もか，といった感じがあり、彼らの報道によって世界がブッシュ陣営に巧みに誘導される可能性があることを念頭においてCNN報道に接した方がいい。とにかく，今回の「スクープ」とやらで、CNNを見ている世界中の人々があのバリ島テロはやはりアルカイーダによるものだったのか、と納得してしまい，彼らへの否定的なものの見方はさらに強められたはずだ。
ブッシュ陣営はこれが狙いだ。反テロを強化するための口実を確立・強化するため情報操作の一環の可能性が高いのだ。
主流メディアを検証している報道機関からの情報と照らし合わせるなどして、CNNなどの主流メディアの報道に一歩距離をおいて，慎重に扱った方がいい。常にこれは本当か，裏づけが取れているのか，そういった注意をはらいながら，情報に接したい。
主流メディアでも比較的信用できるのは英国系BBC,Guardian,Independentだ。それでもなお，アングロサクソン系メディアなので一定の偏りがあることも念頭においたほうがいい。アメリカの報道機関はCFR（外交問題評議会）所属のメディアオーナー、ジャーナリスト・編集者などを通じて著しく体制翼賛化したといっていい。

CNN Said It So It Must Be True, Or Not?
Friday, 8 November 2002, 1:26 pm
Article: Mo Abbas
The shifting sands of online message boards are a notoriously unreliable place to find information. Yet today just such a source has been quoted by CNN for a report that Al Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the Bali bombings on October 12th. Mo Abbas and Alastair Thompson investigate.
In what appears to be a scoop report today CNN claims it has translated an Al-Qaeda website message in which Al-Qaeda claims responsibility for the Bali bombing.
CNN do not give the URL for the website where the message appeared.
The following is what they say about the message, and its authenticity:
典he Web site has been used in the past by al Qaeda to claim responsibility for attacks, including the synagogue fire in Tunisia in which mainly German tourists died, and strikes on two ships in Yemen.
The al Qaeda message read: 腺y attempting to strike a U.S. plane in Saudi Arabia and by bombing a Jewish synagogue in Tunisia, destroying two ships in Yemen, attacking the Fialka base in Kuwait, and bombing nightclubs and whorehouses in Indonesia, al Qaeda has shown it has no qualms about attacking inside Arab and Islamic lands.
"This is provided that the target belongs to the Jewish-Crusader alliance," it continues.
Interestingly while New Zealand痴 state broadcaster Radio New Zealand used the CNN scoop as its lead item today, even getting comment from the Prime Minister in reaction to it, the BBC and other international news agencies do not appear to have followed up the story. The story has been picked up in the Australian media where it is being sourced back to CNN.
And perhaps the absence of genuine follow-ups to CNN痴 scoop is due to the near impossibility of authentication.
In support of its contention that the message is genuine CNN quotes U.S. Deputy Defence Secretary Wolfowitz saying he too has read a translation of the message.
Scoop notes however that even in translation the message seems rather odd as it refers to Al Qaeda in the third person. 鄭l Qaeda has shown it has no qualms, it reads, a manner of speech more commonly associated with reportage than with official statements.
A possible hint as to where the story may have come from lies in CNN痴 second big scoop of the day, a story sourced to 田oalition intelligence sources saying that 都everal top terrorist operatives met recently on borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay to plan attacks against U.S. and Israeli targets in the Western hemisphere.
Possibly this is true too. And possibly also, and Scoop is only surmising here, these same 田oalition intelligence sources also provided CNN with the URL of the mysterious Al Qaeda message board.
Discussion found on the Internet about websites used by Al Qaeda in the past is illuminating on the questions around the authenticity of CNN痴 latest scoop.
USA Today for example reports that drasat.com and alneda.com have been used by Al Qaeda in the past.
The latter of these two websites has been hacked and turned into a 租iscussion forum seemingly for right wing nutcases with postings that include photos of decapitated heads with the caption 鄭merica AKABAR (America is the greatest) little Islamist terrorist. (See itshappening.com if you wish to be deeply offended.)
It may seem extremely unlikely that this is the source CNN痴 Scoop. But since they do not acknowledge what their source is, it remains a moot point.
In August CNN interviewed the hacker of a claimed Al Qaeda website, and coined a new title for him, 菟orn patriot .
For its part USA Today has reported that Al Qaeda websites appear and reappear frequently under different addresses in order to escape detection.
Even if a verifiable AQ website is found by the FBI - according to USA Today, it is kept secret by US intelligence agencies for further investigations. USA Today claim to have seen a website under investigation and say they have been prohibited from publishing its address.
Meanwhile Scoop痴 inquiries into Arabic language media today have thus far found no mention of CNN痴 latest scoop on the Bali Bombing.
It is not mentioned on Arabic language Al Jazeera, nor on the English Language jihadunspun.net, nor on Waaqiah.Com the source of the last claimed communication from Osama bin Laden, a letter to Americans that appeared in late October.
Interestingly the authenticity of even this Al Qaeda communication, (which, incidentally, does not claim responsibility for the Bali Bombing) has also been questioned.
After it appeared jihadunspun.com published it in full, but included a note doubting its authenticity. Waaqiah.Com has since responded with a liturgical dissertation on their faithfulness to the truth see Statement from Azzam Publications About Jihadunspun.com .
All of which proves that even statements with quite convincing providence sourced to Al Qaeda have serious questions around them. None of which is acknowledged in CNN痴 report.
Meanwhile notes on message boards written in the third person, which have since disappeared, most probably make for extremely dubious scoops indeed.
Finally if you remain interested after all this in what Al Qaeda really have to say, to view Osama bin Laden痴 September 11th anniversary message the authenticity of which is generally accepted (i.e. both the Arabic Media and the State Department seem to believe in it) see:
