A Question of Guilt

And on Nov. 4, 1998, a Federal Grand Jury and the U.S. Department of State offered a $5 million reward for insight into the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden.

 

The Master of Mayhem’s response to this martyrdom-like level of respect bestowed upon his not-so humble self?

 

“The International Islamic Front for Jihad against the U.S. and Israel has issued a crystal-clear fatwa calling on the Islamic nation to carry on Jihad aimed at liberating holy sites. The nation of Muhammad has responded to this appeal. If the instigation for Jihad against the Jews and the Americans in order to liberate Al-Aksa Mosque and the Holy Ka’aba Islamic shrines in the Middle East is considered a crime, then let history be a witness that I am a criminal.” – Osama Bin Laden in an interview with journalist Rahimullah Yusufzai in 1999.

 

Of course, President Bush continues to assert Osama Bin Laden’s guilt and the evilness of his axis of evilness, but my mind wonders why the president didn’t honor Clinton’s executive order and what happened to the little “White Paper” that Secretary of State Colin Powell promised to publish linking the Godfather of terrorists to the horrific episode of 9/11.

 

Or why Rex Tomb of the FBI’s public affairs unit said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mention on Osama bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”

 

Why has the U.S. Justice Department not sought criminal charges on Osama bin Laden (or anyone else for that matter) for the bombings on 9/11? Especially since two separate grand juries filed two separate indictments against the former hero of the Soviet war for two separate acts of terrorism relating to his involvements with the previous bombings.

  

I thought he was the godfather of propaganda against the freedoms of America, the evil of evildoers, the killer of American soldiers and civilians, the devil of 9/11? Did not the president promise to take the terrorist leader “dead or alive?”

 

According to our government, Osama bin Laden is the face of evil for the 21st century, and we as Americans cannot turn on the radio or TV without hearing the current color level of threat against our lives and loved ones because of the evil one’s actions.
