Fake bin Laden Video?
Frankly, I always thought the guy in the December 2001 "confession" video looked quite a bit like Osama. Particularly it looks like bin Laden in the very beginning of the video (not shown in the YouTube clip).
This article gives a compelling reason why bin Laden looks a little chubbier in the video than in later photos of him: the video wasn't made when the US was bombing Afghanistan in November and December 2001 and bin Laden was on the run-- it was made in late September 2001, when bin Laden was still rested and well-fed. The video was also likely taken during a CIA sting operation, and was not found simply in an abandoned house.
