Osama Bin Laden’s Fall Book Club For Americans
The New York Times reports that Osama Bin Laden has apparently released a new audiotape online, titled “An Address to the American People,” in which he mentions three books which he claims support his anti-American worldview. Bin Laden suggests that Americans pick up copies as soon as possible, and, “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.”
The three recommended books are surprisingly mainstream choices. First there’s former president Jimmy Carter’s Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Next is The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, written two professors who argue that the pro-Israel lobby in Washington has undue influence and harms both American and Israeli interests. Lastly, there’s Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, a book of questionable veracity in which author John Perkins details his years convincing the governments of developing nations to take out bad loans from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
Where does Osama get these from, Amazon?
