“The tape contains the usual rhetoric we have seen before from a deviant and cowardly criminal. Bin Ladin is deluding himself if he believes that his criminal acts are justified by any religion or principle of humanity.

Bin Ladin and those associated with him are criminals who must be brought to justice and severely punished."
