That is not news, but I will tell you what is.
I was reading a headline titled, “Dire Prediction From Osama's Bodyguard” in which he states he is certain the al Qaeda leader is planning an attack on the United States.
They interviewed Abu Jandal, who was with bin Laden in Afghanistan from 1996 to 2000. Abu Jandal stated the bin Laden's last tape, on which he threatened consequences to the United States, is not a threat, but a promise.
This is not news every time the countries security level is raised they discuss it on every television channel. 60 Minutes published a quote from Abu Jandal, "When Sheik Osama promises something, he does it … So I believe Osama bin Laden is planning a new attack inside the United States, this is certain," The same reaction applies, America is aware of this and remember the security level, same thing.
The article stated the closest we came to getting bun Laden was before 9/11 during a retaliatory U.S. missile strike on the al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. My initial reaction to this was “We missed the Bastard!” and with this in mind could Mr. Abu Jandal give us the information needed to punch in the coordinates and hit him this time.
The interview demonstrated to me that 60 Minutes is climbing mountains and crossing oceans to present news that betters the other news services. Their quest to publish a headline of dire predictions when in fact everyone in the entire free world is already aware of it only proves that.
Let me read an article going into detail how our special operations units captured bin Laden with information provided by 60 Minutes, now that is news.
