I'm betting... you heard it here first... that someone in the DU / Kerry camp will claim this is an elabrate hoax, done by the Bush team on the eve of the election.
Shame on them... why would the Republicans produce such video in Pakistan...
You have to admit that the tape is coming to the public via an entirely different channel. I don't get why Al-Qaeda would risk making contact with Western reporters and why do they sell it? Why are the terrorists now using American English (the language of infidels) to send their warnings when they've always done it in Arabic before? The whole thing is very strange and out of character.
