Correction: he does talk about OBL, but only in the context that OBL can
see what Americans refuse to see. We have collective denial in this

meddling in the world is a distraction of the sinking that we've been doing
for a very long time. Fascinating book, should be mandatory reading for
everyone, but of course nobody will read it.
