John Miller was told that Osama bin Laden would speak, but his answers wouldn't be translated into English. "That's going to be a problem -- how will I ask a follow-up question?'

Miller adds: "Dr. Zawahiri explained that 'this is not like your Sam Donaldson walking through the Rose Garden of the White House with the president. Mr. bin Laden was a very important man."
