Bin Laden calls Saddam an Infidel.

THe tape was released by Al Jeezera, not the U.S. government. bin Laden has historically shown his p.r. savy by using the media to his benefit. Al Jeezera has become his voice.

I don't doubt the timing nor the authenticity of it. I agree wholeheartedly that it's significagance in terms of the Iraq-AL Queada connection is vastly overstated. But it falls completely in line with bin Ladens normal operating behavior.
