“The United States released a videotape today [December 13, 2001] showing Osama bin Laden laughing and boasting about the Sept. 11 attacks. …Bush administration officials said that the amateur videotape, which they believe was filmed on Nov. 9 [2001] at a guest house in Kandahar, Afghanistan, was proof that Mr. bin Laden was guilty in the Sept. 11 attacks.”
