In the footage, Bin Laden looks considerably frailer than earlier imagesAn old, frail-looking man sits slouched on a floor, a television remote control in his hand.
He strokes his grey beard and rocks gently as he watches himself on the screen.
The man is Osama Bin Laden, captured on a tape that the US government says Navy Seals brought back with them from their mission in Abbottabad.
The Pentagon describes the results of the raid, during which US soldiers killed the world's most wanted man, as "the largest trove of information ever obtained from a single source".
The Pentagon, obviously, has a complete monopoly over the information, and is choosing what it wants the public to see very carefully.
No audio, no context and no explanation has been provided for the choice of clips that the Pentagon decided to release, nor was there any other information about whether or not they have any further footage.
