I started an entry on the latest appearance of the nefarious Zawahiri (May 5), only to be stopped short by my inability to locate an English transcript of the video. The closest I came was the "SITE institute" which says the video and transcript are available only to "Intel Service members," whoever they are. According to the BBC, this is a 67 minute long video, but everyone seems to be quoting the same few sentences, which correspond with the 2 minute clip available on YouTube.
Meanwhile, in the absence of an actual source to refer to, any reporting on the video is going to involve toxic levels of take-my-word-for-it, so I feel obligated to postpone further commentary. I wish the press felt the same way.
Please feel free to unleash ridicule upon me if the transcript is somewhere obvious, but you have to also tell me where it is.
