Dutch TV Show Feeds Conspiracy Theories on Bin Laden's Role in 9/11

A fake jury that exonerated Usama bin Laden from the Sept. 11 terror attacks following a televised mock trial on a popular Dutch program sends a "disturbing" message to the world and fuels conspiracy theories, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and other former U.S. prosecutors told FOXNews.com.In just 30 minutes, the jury of three men and two women who appeared on the Dutch show "Devil's Advocate" ruled last Wednesday that there was no proof bin Laden masterminded the 9/11 attacks or that he remains the head of Al Qaeda. The television jury did acknowledge, however, that bin Laden is a terrorist.Rudy Giuliani, former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York and Republican presidential candidate, said programs like this are dangerous."It's such a bizarre and irrational ruling that I don't think it'll have any weight with anyone, other than to fuel conspiracy theories," said Giuliani."The clear damage it does is that it gives people who want to seize on irrational theories something else to talk about."On the program, defense attorney Gerard Spong said he convinced the jury that bin Laden's connection to 9/11 was the product of "hearsay" and "Western propaganda" by analyzing videos and statements the Al Qaeda leader released after the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people."It is not clear whether or not they are authentic and real," Spong told FOXNews.com of the videos, arguing that the left-handed bin Laden appears to be right-handed on some video recordings and that on several tapes differing translations exist."If you compare all those videos with the man said to be bin Laden, you can see very obvious details that it's not the same person," Spong continued."So there's a reasonable doubt that it's bin Laden on several videos." Spong also cited bin Laden's poster on the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" and "Most Wanted Terrorists" list, which includes no mention of 9/11. Spong argued that because the FBI did not list the events of 9/11 on the poster, it is proof that the U.S. government doesn't consider bin Laden to be the mastermind. That omission is often cited by conspiracy theorists as proof that bin Laden is not connected to the attacks.FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said 9/11 is not mentioned on the posters because bin Laden hasn't been formally indicted in connection to the attacks. The poster mentions only his role in the U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa in August 1998 that killed more than 200 people, for which he has been charged. He remains a "suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world," according to the FBI's Web page.When asked to provide specifics of his defense or why he didn't use evidence the 9/11 Commission Report, Spong demurred,"It is a television program and is not a real court case ... My role was to cast reasonable doubt on the charges against bin Laden and I have no secret theories who else may be the guilty one."A well-known yet controversial attorney who built a reputation defending some of the Netherlands' most notorious criminals, Spong has been at the center of an escalating and heated immigration debate revolving around the country's large Muslim minority.
