if anyone's curious, the full, original, unedited English transcript of the tape bin Laden sent to Al-Jazeera is available at Al-Jazeera.net.

But I am amazed at you. Even though we are in the fourth year after the events of September 11th, Bush is still engaged in distortion, deception and hiding from you the real causes. And thus, the reasons are still there for a repeat of what occurred.

So I shall talk to you about the story behind those events and shall tell you truthfully about the moments in which the decision was taken, for you to consider.

And...

[...] anyone who looks at the size of the contracts acquired by the shady Bush administration-linked mega-corporations, like Haliburton and its kind, will be convinced. And it all shows that the real loser is...you.

And then... he quotes Benjamin Franklin.
"An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure."

In conclusion, I tell you in truth, that your security is not in the hands of Kerry, nor Bush, nor al-Qaida.
No.

Your security is in your own hands. And every state that doesn't play with our security has automatically guaranteed its own security.

(That last line is the controversial line, wherein they've determined that he means "US state", not "country".)

This is where I look him in the eye and say "FUCK YOU"

What a bastard. Every state, what does he think we will do, succed from the nation? We are a country. Not a loose grouping of people who just happen to inhabit a landmass. We so need to KILL HIM.
