That was how they originally tried to spin it. They also tried to spin him as being a young conservative, Tom Clancey fan, and they said that his plane crash was not a terrorist act. Only some of those things was true:
Police release Charles Bishop suicide note (15 yr old Tampa plane suicide, Osama sympathizer)
I have prepared this statement in regards to theterroristact I am about to commit.First of all, Osama bin Laden is absolutely justified in the terror he has caused on 9-11. He has brought a mighty nation to its knees!
God blesses him and the others who helped make September 11th happen.
The U.S. will have to face the consequences for its horrific actions against the Palestinian people and (illegible, could be Iraq?) by its allegiance with the monstrous Israelis who want nothing short of world domination!
You will pay - God help you - and I will make you pay! There will be more coming!
Al Queda and other organizations have met with me seversal times to discuss the option of me joining. I didn't.
This is an operation done by me only. I had no other help, although I am acting on their behalf.
Osama bin Laden is planning on blowing up the Super Bowl with an antiquated nuclear bomb left over from the 1967 Israeli-Syrian War.
Sounds like a terrorist to me (even if he was a crackpot). Additionally he called his act "terrorist" (whether it was him or someone else who crossed the word out of his letter). After all, it appears in his first sentence. He could have just started the letter over...
I've hadn't read it up till now.
I'm glad (sad to say) that this boy is not drawing breath on American soil any more.
