I wouldn't have argued ID theft. I wasn't aware that was even an issue. If I was going to hijack a plane and was known in some circles as someone who might be inclined to do this, I think I'd use a fake ID too.
Here's an interesting article talking about the possibility of the confession being fake that seems a little more fair about pointing out different bits of evidence rather than just the bits that support one theory:

They also present an interesting theory which is that the video might be a fake or semi-fake, but the trickster is Osama himself.
Rather than being tricked by the US government into thinking exactly what they want you to think, perhaps you're being tricked by Osama bin Laden to think exactly what HE wants you to think.
Funny how the American government can do these conspiracies but nobody ever thinks Saddam or Osama could ever do a conspiracy themselves.
I wonder why that is.
