Ten years of messages and interviews with

Osama bin Laden have been leaked. Translated by the United States
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the documents were posted on a blog Friday.
Posted to Secrecy News blog on September 12, and copied to similar sites like

One message includes bin Laden's denial of having anything to do with the
September 11, 2001 attacks in
