So, if we read Blum's book "Rogue State", we're helping bin Laden?
Is that the new meme?



Bin Laden tells Americans that "if you are sincere in your desire for peace and security, and if Bush refuses to do anything but continue lies and oppression," then he recommends Americans read a book entitled "The Rogue State," apparently a reference to a book of that title by political analyst William Blum. The book has been published in Arabic.

4. By posting on this board, you're helping Bin Laden
In fact, by even criticizing the President, you're helping Bin Laden.

12. Hey...I requested it through the local library...

there's quite a few by that title..not surprising I guess. There's a rogue nation, and several rogue states. Almost wanted to get one of each...typical American...if one is good three must be better! :hi:
