The Bush Administration released the "smoking gun" video tape of Osama bin Laden, in which the world's most wanted man boasts of having been involved in the September 11th attacks. On the tape, bin Laden reveled in the collapse of the World Trade Center and of the hijackers he said: "We asked each of them to go to America but they didn’t know
anything about the operation...we did not reveal the operation to them until they are there and just before they boarded the planes."

The administration is hoping that the video tape will erase any doubt about bin Laden's guilt in the terrorist attacks on the United States. This hour, we dissect the bin Laden tape and examine how the world is reacting to the evidence the U.S. hopes will strengthen international resolve against terrorism.

The Transformation of the Bush Administration Listen

One year ago, George W. Bush was limping out of a month-long fracas over the 2000 election, the President-elect of a deeply divided nation. His first several months in office were considered unremarkable by many. But an unprecedented attack on the United States and an ambitious and so-far successful war on terrorism have pushed the President's approval ratings through the roof and have led to comparisons with FDR and other great American leaders.

This hour, a look at the Bush administration before and after September 11th. How are our leaders rising to meet the first major crisis of the 21st century?
