Al Qaeda has released a new message from Osama bin Laden, the first since the terror group's leader was killed in a U.S. raid on his Pakistan compound almost three weeks ago.

The 13-minute audiotape, which references the revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, includes still images emblazoned with an old picture of bin Laden and dated with the Islamic month that begins in the last week of April. It seems to have been recorded after Feb. 17.

Interesting choice of messangers. I wouldn't think it the most...intimidating message to use a guy who got killed in a raid as the arbiter of your image. But what do I know?
 
Poor strategy.

Who is going to buy this 13 minute effort when it is almost certain the marketing men are bound to release a 25-cassette, career retrospective, boxed set in the next few months?

Than a few short months later they'll release the HD version.
