“Terrorist Groups Said Co-operating on US Hostage Plot” (May 23)
“Bin Ladin’s Networks’ Plans Advancing” (May 26)

“Bin Ladin Planning High-Profile Attacks” (June 30)
“Planning for Bin Ladin Attacks Continues, Despite Delays” (July 2)

Fascinating.
John Steward and Steven Colbert are both hillarious. Those who can't take it: "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" nobody is forcing you to watch them.
