AL QAEDA PRODUCED A 2-HOUR DOCUMENTARY AND IS GOING TO AIR IT ON AL JAZEERA:
STEVE EMERSON, TERRORISM ANALYST: Bill, they're telling us what they believe. They hate us for who we are. They hate us for our promotion of human rights, for women's rights, for democracy.
It's not a linear equation here. They're not saying they oppose us merely because of the Iraq War. They hate us because of the fact that we are considered part of this conspiracy to subjugate Islam.
And in this, you know, two-hour special that they've produced, they actually cite the Crusades as happening yesterday. They want to slit the throats of Americans, Christians, Jews and anybody who is not Muslim.
O'REILLY: No. There - I should explain that this sound bite you just heard is part of a two-hour documentary that basically says the West started the war, that the USA started this by invading and all of this stuff.
But you know, we've heard this now, Steve, for decades from these fanatics. Is there a change in their tone? And why would they bother putting out a two-hour documentary? Who's going to watch that?
EMERSON: Well, they certainly are going to get a lot of people watching it in al Rabiya and now in al Jazeera, throughout the Middle East.
What's great is all the intel we're going to get from the stuff these bonehead terrorists put in the show:
O'REILLY: Now can this have any value to U.S. intelligence, watching something like this, taking a look at it? Can they get any worthy information from this?
EMERSON: I think they can get a lot of information from it. First of all, even though their faces are masked, there are voices that certainly could be acoustically matched to potential other voices in terms of voice pattern identification.
Number two, they can see exactly perhaps with a backdrop where some of the scenes were shot.
Three, they could see perhaps in terms of trying to contain the operational compromise where documents were taken and what those documents are, since they actually showed them on the air, as well as some of the computers they seized.
I think there's a tremendous amount, Bill, of intelligence value that can be gleaned if carefully scrutinized.
The terrorists are not not well-educated in deductive reasoning. If they were they'd probably find something better to do with their lives.
