"New" tape of Bin Laden using old clips

Is he dead or alive?

Is he inaccessible because of health or security reasons.

Some interesting quotes buried in the article...

"It does not matter if bin Laden is dead, alive, sick or captured ... Al Qaeda now is an ideology not a hierarchy. It takes someone like bin Laden to create it but any of his aides can run it now," an Arab diplomat said.

"His death or capture might be a blow to the organization but it is the ideology that needs to be fought, not the person."
