#1 But we folks on the outside have to give the ABC folks the time to do their job right. Do background research. Compare it to other al-Qaeda tapes. Figure out what is new and what is different about this one. Interview a terror expert from a think-tank or two

How much time? What if they won't (or don't) "do their job right"?

This is a perfect example of why blogs and bloggers need to step up to the next level and start to source and research stories themselves rather than merely comment on the passing MSM spectacle.

#2 Start with this one. Old Spook, any ideas? Could/would you point a blogger to some colleagues who can help us track down the provenance of the tape?

#3 For that matter, Fred, Spook, et al., how do you guys evaluate this one, based on what we know?
