The Bin Laden "ties" consist of Bin Laden having been "near" a UAE hunting camp in Afghanistan, as if proximity to someone makes you complicit with them. (I once shook Bill Clinton's hand. I guess that ties me in to his rape of Juanita Broaderick) and some unnamed UAE official having some unnamed connection to Bin Laden in 1999. No word on who this person is, what their position in the govt. is or was, whether they are still in the govt, what the connection was, nor the fact that it's lapsed in the 7 years since. And pre-9-11 and post-9-11 are 2 different mindsets. I see no evidence that the UAE has continued in its pre-9-11 way of doing things. We can't say the same of the AP or the Democratic party.
No, but it put you at grave risk for all sorts of STDs! I hope you soaked your and in bleach afterward.
