"Hidden Messages" on ObL's video statements?

[David_Biggins@usermgmt.com]

"The United States government believes that Osama bin Laden and his
al-Qaida network may be sending out coded messages via videos it has
recently put out through the Arabic satellite channel al-Jazeera. "

"The president's national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, suspects
that the messages may be prompts for terrorists and sleeper cells to
begin a second wave of attacks. "

I'm just amazed they haven't accused him of using
broadcast-and-recording-proof steganography to encode detailed attack
orders in these broadcasts, too...

"Mr Powell said analysts were looking at the statements"

Yes, it's possible he's using pre-defined phrases as triggers for
pre-agreed actions...  

In which case, "looking at the statements" is probably all they can
do....
