The Myth & the Legend of the Mighty Osama bin Laden.

[Philosoraptor]

Some of what we know about Osama is true. Some of it is suspicious and downright mythological.

How do we tell the difference?

We know his family and the Bush family were business partners for decades. We know that our own CIA trained him to fight the Russian invaders in Afghanistan, and probably supported him financially as well.

We know that he and his family live sometimes in New Jersey. We know that he occasionally releases vague threats and cryptic audio and video tapes, and we know that he was instantly identified as the perpetrator of 9-11.

We also know that he is still out there, running around big as you please, or so it would seem, but, not everything from Bush and his media is as it seems.

I've talked to some folks who doubt he exists, or is dead, or is living in Albuquerque, NM, or Saudi Arabia. Some see him as a specter or imaginary bad guy, like a comic book super villain.

Who is this strange visitor from another world with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men?
