I've been listening to the news today and one hot topic has been =
comments made by Colin Powell regarding a tape from Osama Bin Laden =
addressing the Iraqi people. The U.S. administration is saying this =
proves the link between the two. =
http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/02/11/powell.binladen/index.html

Now what is interesting is that Colin Powell indicated he had read =
transcripts of the tape and that Al Jazeera would be airing it. What =
makes it a truly interesting piece is that Al Jazeera denied having a =
tape. =
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=3Dstory&u=3D/ap/20030211/ap_on_go_c=
a_st_pe/us_iraq_247

(I love the bad journalism here where Powell's decline to comment is =
followed by a quote on the matter.)
But Al-Jazeera chief editor Ibrahim Hilal told The Associated Press =
his station has no such tape. And Powell, when asked by a reporter to =
comment on the station's denial, declined to do so.=20

"Be patient, it's coming," Powell said.=20

I was almost as if Powell knew they had it, or, perhaps, knew they =
would be getting it... I say this because I just now hear and read that =
suddenly and as if by miracle, they have found the tape they didn't have =
and will be airing it in the next day or so. =20
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=3Dstory&u=3D/ap/20030211/ap_to_po/u=
s_iraq_252

Al-Jazeera chief editor Ibrahim Hilal told The Associated Press late =
Tuesday that his office had just received an audio tape with bin Laden's =
voice. He said he and the station's board were listening to the tape and =
would make a decision on when to air it.=20

I have to say this is all very questionable.
