Osama’s Latest Deranged Rant
• Views: 2,090
Here’s the latest letter from “Osama bin Laden,” who writes remarkably well for a dead man.
Reached for comment, Michael Moore said, “Hey! Now we know what we gotta do, right? How do you like my kaffiyeh?”
UPDATE: More details about the origin of the letter:
The translated letter was originally posted in Arabic on a Saudi Arabian website previously used by al-Qaeda to disseminate messages. Within the last two weeks British Islamists have translated the letter, the most comprehensive explanation of bin Laden’s ideology to be issued for several years, and posted it on English-language websites run from the UK.
The letter was sent to hundreds of subscribers to an email list run by Mohammed al-Massari, the UK-based Saudi Arabian dissident whose Committee for the Defence of Legitimate Rights has opposed the al-Saud regime for more than a decade. Yesterday al-Massari denied he supported terrorism in any way. Al-Massari has recently been granted permanent residence in Britain, a move which angered foreign governments who claim that the UK is still a haven for extremists.
UPDATE: Some interesting observations from Andrew Sullivan.
