Bin Laden's Bubble

clipped from thelede.blogs.nytimes.com While Oprah’s seal of approval on a book cover is sought after in America, Osama Bin Laden’s is, to put it mildly, not. On Monday, the authors of three books apparently recommended to American readers by the leader of Al Qaeda in his latest communique might be wondering how one goes about returning an unsolicited endorsement to a shadowy militant who has been in hiding for eight years. Here is the blurb from hell the books’ authors will not want to see printed on their jackets above Mr. Bin Laden’s name: “After you read the suggested books, you will know the truth, and you will be greatly shocked by the scale of concealment that has been exercised on you.” 1. “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” by Stephen M. Walt, a professor of international affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, and John J. Mearsheimer 2. “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” in which former President Jimmy Carter gives his views “Confessions of an Economic Hit Man,” by John Perkins.

Some of you wonder why the NYeT doesn't seem responsive to anything that seems common sense to Americans that live in the real world.

If you want a real education, scan through the comments including the authors defensive responses.

This looks to me an interesting gauge on the "adults" in the leftist bubble. These are the ones that aren't the foul-mouthed 14-year-olds living in their mother's basement.

God help us all.
