In the other videos you notice there are some lighting technical difficulties, i think we know where the studio, the al-qaeda video studios are, clear from one of the videos that theres an a armoi armoire, that they saw in the compound. and that video in particular appears to have been made inside this compound. >> jennifer, let he me point out quickly the reason were not showing the video, but the stills instead because our policy on fox news, to only show the still photos because we will not s...

Telephone line and no internet into the compound. internet lines. but what they did have, he did have and we saw this from the initial images released, there was a satellite dish there. so, they were getting television at the compound. i was told that from the very beginning, so we always knew he could get television there. whats not clear from this video is whether he was watching it in real time or whether it was a, a videotape of something taken off air. but, but soef-- but he did have televi...

More clues as to his location and audiotape gave him more of a sense of of security and one of the things we saw in the briefing today is that he guarded-- jealously guarded his image and as you see with the dark beard weve been discussing this earlier. this was a way to present himself, to the world and to the videotape. the darker beard is the younger, more virile al-qaeda leader and more candid video. i think if you can go back to that where he is a crouching on the floor and watching his ima...

Not just a divinity figure as ive heard him described by terrorist organizations? who else may have been involved? what other factions of al-qaeda or the brotherhood or elsewhere might take action now that hes been killed? >> lets go point by point. number one, if really we have a mountain of information i believe we should, we have, i dont think we have to process everything in 24 hours. this is something gigantic, little by little. i ask basic questions. if im sitting in the war room of usama ...

Compound was based on things that officials told us in the beginning, but since weve had a chance to look at that compound. its certainly a large piece of land, but from the interiors weve seen there, it looks like your average pakistani compound, not a million dollar-- it does not look luxurious by any means and certainly that has been corroborated by many of the videos weve seen taken from inside the compound. but i lived in pakistan for a number of years and looks like many sort of standard h...

Ladens location and what was going on at that compound. >> well, this senior intelligence official carefully worded an answer to that very question and he said that they do not have any hard evidence, that the pakistani government knew where bin laden was, but when it was followed up and asked whether the intelligence service, the isi did, he repeated, we have no, we have no indication that the pakistani government, i think, he was making a distinction between the intelligence service and the ci...

From the video side of the equation is on the one hand positive and when we saw saddam hussein in his spider hole. youd sit there and watch him with his beard, and a blanket wrapped around him trying to keep warm. and looking at what looks like a third world country squalor home he lived in, and this is a situation where he clearly was operateening far more sparse conditions than would be implied by the compound itself. on the negative side of the equation though, it does show that he is operati...

Sort of diagram of the, the number of channels and al-jazeera has number within on the screen. and it seems that he was watching himself on al-jazeera. >> jamie: jen, theres no indication that al-jazeera participated in the making of the videos so i want to just clarify. >> no, absolutely not. no, absolutely not. he could have been watching any channel. could see the list of the channels we see bbc. we see-- its a standard satellite, you know, menu. >> jamie: jen, does that mean that there may h...

Of bin laden, and we were only told today that it was from extended family members. at that point, the intelligence briefer said that there was a 1 in 11.8 quadrillion chance this was not bin laden to which the room full of reporters burst into laughter. fifth they found personal letters with bin ladens signature on them at the compound. that was another piece of evidence and finally, you have the statement that was released yesterday by al-qaeda through its own known networks, dated may, may 3r...
