"Also, the attempt to discredit the boat video was dishonest."

I Disagree Keith on the basis that the video of the boat tied up and the video of the attacking boats in the second video do not corroborate each other.

They are very different for a number of reasons, wheter it be firing of what appear mainly to be paintballs, but may be other weapons too, whether it be the fact that the boats come close enough to shoot and then pull away, whether it be that the boats in the second video are moving a LOT faster, and bumping up off the sea with each wave, or even whether it just be that fact that the troops in the second video are alert and actually doing something.

For those navy seals to come in at speed, shoot paintballs at passengers and then to tie their boat alongside and then to just sit and take it while water, plates and stun grenades were lobbed at them is inconsistent with the actions of any boarding party.

The helicopters dropped their troopers quickly and efficiently as you might expect from a special forces team, and that is what I would expect from navy seals too.

The boat video looks like a medieval siege in which the invaders have suddenly realized they forgot their ladder.

It just doesn't add up.

Why would they stop firing paintballs and then, once they came under 'attack' just sit and allow themselves to be humiliated.

Sorry, but the question of whether or not it was faked is a pertinent one, and consistent with the faked weapons find and the faked radio communications.

None of the passengers videos have been discredited yet.

The other video of the passengers on deck walking through metal posts etc is more clearly a fake for all the reasons explained in the video.
