I was going to mention that. Suppose, for the same of argument, John Berry is right, and there is no hard evidence bin Laden did this. In that case, here is an important lesson from that video: In the event someone kills 3,000 Americans in a terrorist attack, you should not go around bragging that you masterminded the attack. Especially, don't brag on video if you happen to be a credible suspect. Someone is likely to come and shoot you, even 10 years later. If Berry is right and this is a big misunderstanding, Mr. bin Laden should have had enough sense to surrender himself to authorities at the nearest U.S. Embassy. He would have been treated humanely and he would have been given every opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding and go free, since the goal of the U.S. has been to find the perpetrators, not to punish the wrong people. - Jed
