What about the 1/4/04 audio bin laden broadcast, where he condemned the capture of Saddam, proving the tape was recent. I agree, it was either bin laden, or, like you said, one of his sons. The CIA said it was the real deal.

I would say it was Saad bin laden if it were a fake.

Prior to Tora Bora, videos of bin laden were the norm. What happened?

Well I have no way of knowing whether Bin Laden is alive or dead, but remember how he used to do videos outside until our geologists identified the region by the type of rock & terrain? Then they started filming inside & there was all the analysis about his health & who else was in the shot. It's possible that they just decided they were giving away too much intel with video.
