I got over twenty responses to my request for sites.  Thanks to
everyone.  I'm not going to post them all, but will post the first
ones that arrived and one with a little extra info. Translations (not
necessarily perfect) of the text can be had at:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1585000/1585636.stm

http://www.smh.com.au/news/0110/08/world1/world13.html

One Arabic class in our department had students listening, following
along, and looking up words in the translation that they were
unfamiliar with and it was pretty exciting for them to feel
'current'.  So thanks again for your help.

Hello everyone!
I was lucky enough to be recording Al Jazeera when they released his taped
statement.  I have recorded into my computer the statement made by Bin
Laden after the bombing started in Afghanistan. This recording is
available on my website in MP3 format at:
http://www.egr.up.edu/contacts/dfrakes/arabic
Look down at "news" and it's the first item.  It is just over a megabyte,
so even over a modem, it should only take about 5 to 10 minutes to
download.
This isn't the full text that was requested, but he speaks in a clear
manner, and with the texts of the translations available as a reference,
it shouldn't be too difficult to come up with a transcription.
I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Dale Frakes
PS I also have the statements of Aiman Al-Thowahari (sp?) the leader of
Islamic Jihad Movement (from the same tape).  If anyone wants that, I can
produce it as well.
