Parsing al-Zawahiri's latest

Apropos of the release, this past Wednesday, of a new bin Laden audiotape, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a senior terrorism analyst at the Investigative Project, a Washington, D.C.-based terrorism research center, takes a stab at parsing the recent videotaped words of bin-Laden's chief ideologue, al-Zawahiri. Gartenstein-Ross is a 2002 graduate of the New York University School of Law. He previously worked as a law clerk for the Honorable Harry T. Edwards of the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and as a commercial litigator at the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner.
