Re: "What about bin laden links to the usa?"

>>> I'm sure many could be drawn.

>>> He was, after all, an 'asset' trained by the CIA, as many of his followers were trained, funded, and armed by the USA to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.

>>> The State Department's administration of the Visa program was subverted during the Reagan years to permit the illegal rubber-stamping of passports for wild-eyed fundamentalist Saudis who wanted to enter the US for arms training.

>>> Hell, Bush's investment in the Texas Rangers was made possible by bin Laden family money... and bin Laden money later bailed him out of Arbusto.

>>> While - during this same period - Saddam was torturing and filling every fundamentalist he could get his hands on... and bin Laden was frequently calling for the death of the secularist Saddam... so that fundamentalist Islam could take the country over.
