#1 The original message was 47 minutes long, but the network aired only 14, Hilal said.

The missing 33 minutes probably consist of other people trying to imitate bin Laden's voice, and the occasional request to pass the Cheetos.

#2 Perhaps the remaining 33 minutes addressed plans which never came to fruition, hence Al-Jazeera never aired them (don't want the sponsors looking bad). In this case they'd make interesting listening for our intelligence services (and I'd be very surprised if we didn't have some backdoor into Al-Jazeera by which a legit copy could be obtained).

#3 One of the Iraqi bloggers has an interesting take - no "tirade" against the US - it's against muslims because they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing.

#4 Perhaps there's one, long, 1440-minute master copy thet Al-jeez keeps on hand. Once in a while they release a segment to boost sagging ratings.
