Problem was Al Jazeera hadn't yet received the video but Powell had the transcript already. Funny that isn't it? I think our government stopped using Al Jazeera after that.

On February 12, 2003, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told a Senate panel that he had reviewed a transcript of a message from bin Laden stating he was in “partnership with Iraq" which was to be broadcast on al Jazeera. Al Jazeera initially denied having the tape, but subsequently located it.
