According to Le Monde (Nov. 7) The Saudi daily Al Hayat has an uncut copy of ObL's last video shown on Al Jazeera with visible edits. An Al Jazeera spokesman admitted that the station sat on the video for 3 days before broadcasting it on November 3. According to Al Hayat, the tape was shown to US officials, who examined it with British experts for "secret signals" that ObL is alleged to be sending to his terrorist network. Some of ObL's "expressions" are said to have been cut because they looked incongruous.

So there goes the last bastion of the free media.
