wolf blitzer joins us as well as ed henry. wolf, i'm not sure if you have any information.ee you working your sources there. what do you know so far? >> well, i'm just been told by a senior white house official that we at cnn have been very responsible in our reporting so far. they deeply appreciate the restraint that we have that we're showing right now that we're not speculating. other news organizations are wildly speculating right now. we do know -- and i just want to repeat for our international viewers who are joining us right now, not only here in the united states, but around the world -- this is what we know. about an hour or so ago, the president's white house press secretary informed the major news organizations, the television networks, the cable networks, that the president would make a statement to the nation, indeed to the world, at 10:30 p.m. eastern. it's now 10:36 p.m. eastern. i've been told a little while ago this statement will probably slip to around 10:45 p.m. eastern. the president will go into the east room of the white house, and he will then make

wolf? >> they have waited almost ten years for this moment for the world to know that bin laden is dead. especially new yorkers. they are moved beyond words right now, jason. i think that's fair to say. i want to come back to you and hear more from these people that have gathered at ground zero. ed henry is at the north lawn of the white house. just a few feet from you? >> late on this sunday evening, the news started spreading about the president about to announce that osama bin laden had been killed and people behind my right shoulders and down on pennsylvania avenue a few hundred feet away from where this crowd is, they just have also been spontaneously singing the "star spangled banner" and the contrast, as our colleague was saying, that on 9/11 outside the northwest gate into lafayette park, which that crowd of 40 people from a couple hours ago is now well into the thousands as they look out there, stretches across lafayette park, a large park here in washington, d.c., as many of our v

looking at the pictures today, wolf saw a man plotting, scheming. >> kind of reminds me of one of the villains in a james bond movie who's isolated and has all these tv screens around him, but he's ultimately in control and everybody fears him. >> this is the real story, isn't it? >> reporter: that same video seen through a very different lens. security expert bob straining trained with the department of justice d.e.a. and f.b.i. most of us wouldn't glean that much from a video like this. you'd see a lot more? >> what we're looking for is the kind of things al qaeda is doing to communicate, the kind of things they're doing to raise money. you know, how did they live their life? we never had a view of this. this is a tremendous opportunity for us. >> reporter: an opportunity to expose a man once feared living under virtual house arrest, covered in a blanket, with just a remote control clicker and small tv. >> at the end, he is only a man who can be taken down by a bullet. >> reporter: at first, charles wolf was reluctant to speak with us, but then he saw that video and was so struck th

so it's for this kind of threat that the lone wolf authority is important.the intelligence community is now especially worried about, as people inside the united states may be spurred to action in retaliation for the strike against bin laden. if the f.b.i. or department of homeland security or a state or local police officer identifies someone building bombs, it is necessary to move quickly and not take time to research a possible connection to al qaeda before we use fisa authorities to learn what they're up to and when and how they might strike. business records. the third authority covered by this legislation is known as the business records provision and provides the government the same authority and national security investigations to obtain physical records that exists in an ordinary criminal case, through a grand jury subpoena. business records authority has been used since 2001 in fisa to obtain business -- excuse me -- drivers license records, hotel records, car rental records, apartment leasing records, credit card records, among other business reco
