We have video and audio, CIA vetted, from post Tora Bora, and have captured people who've been in touch with him as late as late 2002. We have intercepted telephone calls made to Bin Laden as late as early 2003, and are aware of specific meetings with him as late as April 2003.

He is consulting...for the DNC and Soros' 527's.
