Bin Laden, the world of covert activity and the "common sense." The world of espionage is truly amazing and often it makes just no sense to the people of "common sense." That is how it should be, otherwise it would be too easy to deal with it. Thus, for example, in about 1957, at the time of their investigation and correction of previous abuses (which, if true, are really mind boggling) a very prominent, super-powerful Soviet politician (second to Stalin during the Stalin time), Secretary of State Security Lavrenty Beria, was arrested and consequently executed. The charges were shocking, unbelievable, making no sense: an extremely vicious secret agent of Great Britain. But an unbiased glance at his deeds would make a wise person only wonder how come his activity did not suggest this before. So is the case with bin Laden. Only for people of "common sense" he is what they were told he is. But if one would try to study the picture in all the details, the greatest puzzlement and shocks are guaranteed. He is not what they "think" he is. The problem here is that people of "common sense" do not think, and that is why they are so easily manipulated. When something does not make any sense to them, they reject and ignore this. In politics, the limited, primitive "common sense" is the people's worst enemy.
