New Bin Laden Tape

Al Jazeera aired a new tape of Osama bin Laden today.

"Your security is not in the hands of [Sen. John] Kerry or [President] Bush or al Qaeda," bin Laden said in the video aired on the Arabic language network Al-Jazeera. He also claimed responsibility for the attacks of September 11, 2001, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

Fletcher Christian rightly reminds us that Kerry can lose or win this thing with his response to this. Here's his own advice for the Senator:

"Osama bin Laden has made a deadly mistake if he thinks that the American people will ever forget what he did or that any of us will ever rest before he is captured or dead. Capturing or killing bin Laden must be a top priority for the next administration, not because it will end all terrorism, but because the victims of 9-11, their families, and all Americans deserve justice."
