U.S. trying to determine age of purported bin Laden tape

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. government is analyzing a
videotape that appears to show Osama bin Laden, according
to a U.S. official.

The assessment will include whether it is really bin Laden
and if the tape is old or new, according to the source.

On Thursday, al Qaeda's media production company touted
the imminent release of a video from bin Laden.

There was no "credible information" about any imminent
threat to the United States, Russ Knocke, a spokesman for
the Department of Homeland Security, said Thursday.

8. I used to think they had him in a secret Military Prison

and they would drag him out and have a show trial if things got too hot for them.

Now, I think he's either very dead of injuries suffered pre-9/11, or he has breakfast with Bush in the WH every morning.
