Kudos to Drudge for finding this piece. Bin Laden is starting to mimic his brothers (or sons-in-law as the case may be) in the Taliban. On a more troubling note, I read an article about 6 months ago in the New Yorker that told of the author's travels in Iraq and meeting with various officials there. They actually believe there is a giant Jewish conspiracy that controls the West. I should note that the "they" is the small group of officials that the writer spoke with, and he did not characterize any others as feeling that way. Still, the belief is there. Makes me think of the scene in "So, I Married an Axe Murderer" when Charlie's father (both characters played by Mike Myers) explains to Charlie's best friend how everything in the world is controlled by a secret organization known as the Pentaveret. They meet tri-annually (I think) in a location in Colorado known as "the Meadow". The pentaverate is the Queen, the Gettys, the Rothschilds, and Colonel before he died.
