"The al-Qaeda leader's first video message for three years featured a bizarre
rant against America, with references to global warming, 'insane taxes', the US
mortgage market meltdown and rising interest rates. American spy chiefs were
quick to name Adam Gadahn, the head of al-Qaeda's English language media
operations, as the author of large sections of bin Laden's broadcast. Last
October, the 28-year-old 'loner' became the first American charged with treason
since 1952, for appearing in a succession of al-Qaeda videos under the guise of
'Azzam The American', in which he condemned globalisation and made American
cultural references."
The explains why so much of the video sounded like it was written by someone who pays attention to the media and has a clear understanding of American culture. I doubt that Bin Laden is able to get many channels in his cave. Besides the army would be quick to track it down to his Tora Bora hide out.
