The Binster said, "Meaning that every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a
million dollars by the permission of Allah, besides the loss of a huge
number of jobs."

This reference to job loss is sort of touching, isn't it? Clearly Bin
Laden clearly cares about the economy, about the problems of job
outsourcing and post-9/11 recapitalization.
I thought he was all bombs and Allah and opportunistic pomposity. But it
turns out he does have a heart.
Goes to show that you can never judge people by the size of the
murderous terrorist organization they run. You gotta look closer,
beneath the digitally-encrypted secret messages and money transfers.
Clearly we have to get out of Plato's cave, once in a while, and go into
bin Laden's.
