[Vision2020] Bin Laden tape

[eevans@moscow.com]

Well, the tape was 16 minutes long, and I heard maybe two minutes on CNN last 
night. Where's the rest? Is there a full transcript somewhere? The bit I 
heard/read (and the "translation" changed over the course of the day) made it 
clear that Bin Laden is pledging support for the faithful Muslims in Iraq, not 
Saddam the apostate.

One thing's for sure:  You know you're a bad guy when both America AND al-Qaeda 
want you ousted.
