More Osama?

WLS reported on the noon newscast that there is another al Qaeda message coming soon from an Arab television network (presumably al Jazeera.) They indicated that Colin Powell is "sure" this is from bin Laden, has seen the transcript, and that the transcript indicates a link with Iraq. Will we see some people do a quick flip on the question of bin Laden's health? I have thought that he is probably dead, but a message like this from a living bin Laden would should come in handy for my warmongering. On the other hand, those who having been saying for months that he lives may change their minds if he's going to come out and make the US case like this.


There's also this story on al Qaeda in Iraq and Iran, from the US intelligence apparatus.
