For Al Jazeera's journalists, who wrestle with how to use the exclusive and often bloody footage, the tapes pose the latest in a string of credibility tests. The current rules go like this: Show the hostages. Don't show beheadings. The slaughter of two Pakistani hostages this week, for example, was deemed too gory — Al Jazeera broke the news, but kept the pictures to itself.

Someone is ''singing'' in last 72 hours! Tom Ridge just now thanked Pakistan for recent intelligence coup that has led to orange status for Washington.<<The government provided a wealth of detail that it had picked up in the past 36 hours, but a senior intelligence official described it only on condition of anonymity. The official described "excruciating detail" and meticulous planning "indicative of al-Qaida." The official said the intelligence included security in and around these buildings; the flow of pedestrians; the best places for reconnaissance; how to make contact with employees who work in the buildings; the construction of the buildings; traffic patterns; locations of hospitals and police departments; and which days of the week present less security at these buildings. A White House spokeswoman, Erin Healy, said the intelligence on the threat is "very new, coming in during the last 72 hours." "The president made the final decision today agreeing with the recommendation of Secretary Ridge to go ahead and raise the threat level in these select areas," Healy said. >> He also rightly gave credit to President Bush leadership and military success that have led to recent information about global financial institutions as prospective targets of Alqaeda new busts in my opinion are all related to Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian on the FBI’s most-wanted list arrests, Pakistani security is not bound to any so called ‘liberal agenda’ when it comes to make him speak, he is now possibly speaking 24 hours, the present intelligence is result of this bust, keep it up; vigilance all around and open war on these vermins is the only option..
