To think innocent americans should not feel ANY normal curiousity about who OBL is, where he came from, why he does the things he does, etc., is orwellian. He carries out horrid attacks, our government talks about him for years afterwards and searches for him, and people who have enough curiousity to want to know more get on a federal list????

More like carried out. If you recall our 2004 presidential election, OBL was reduced to sending a video.

One of the people who borrowed the book wrote the following in the book margin;

Do you consider the follow statement to be a normal curiousity? I don't.

Not only is it Orwellian to think that people should not know who OBL, etc., it's dangerous. You must always strive to know as much about your enemies as possible, anything else leads to a sense of complacency.

As a matter of fact, a lack of knowledge about Bin Laden is what ultimately allowed 9/11 to happen. If people had studied him after the first WTC attack, under Clinton's watch, then there would have been no 9/11. People would have seen him as the danger he ultimately proved to be.
