[Judy Woodruff, Cnn Anchor:] Now let's bring in our White House correspondent, Kelly Wallace. Kelly, what are they saying at the White House now, several hours after the tape was released, and after some debate inside the administration, about whether this was a good idea?
[Kelly Wallace, Cnn Correspondent:] Judy, the sense we are getting from the administration is they definitely think it was a good idea, that the president, when he first saw the tape back on November 30, all indications were that as long as it wouldn't compromise intelligence gathering and as long as the tape was determined to be authentic, that it should be released to the American people. Certainly one goal, Judy, some U.S. officials saying, that putting this tape out could put to rest any doubts that might still exist in the Arab and Muslim world. And the administration definitely heartened by the fact that this tape does appear to be playing in the Arab and Muslim world. We know that the Al Jazeera network carried it live this morning at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time when it was played here in the United States. We also know that the Middle East Broadcasting Satellite Corporation and the Abu Dabi Satellite Corporation also playing portions of the tape. So, Arabs and Muslims around the world seeing the tape, looking at some reaction coming in. Some saying it shows that bin Laden is culpable in the attacks, others saying, one quote here, "it is a fabrication, the film was made to condemn Osama bin Laden." So, it is hard to say. But again, one goal certainly to try to put to rest any doubts that may still exist. And also, Judy, to strengthen the resolve in the United States for a war against terror that is likely to go on for some time. And as you have been watching throughout the day, looking at reaction of Americans, that certainly appears to be the case, that this tape definitely strengthening the resolve of Americans to support this war against terror Judy.
