In the past, they gave tapes to Al Jazeera and ? (memory fails me) other outlets.
It seems odd that now they would select ABC--but then again, it IS an American-based outlet where others aren't.
I was looking at research on Adam Pearlman, the American who appears in the tape. He is a converted radical, from California---and is known to be in Pakistan.
Osama was also sighted in Pakistan in the past few days, as recent as October 25.
Our authorities ARE aware and are on their trail.
He was? How did I miss that?
