It's nice how you snip out the part where I admit that my facts might be wrong, just before you berate me. > Firstly, his > name is Usama bin Laden, not "this Ladden guy"; There's an ancient tradition - I don't remember where it originated, but it goes something like this: If you dislike someone or don't respect them, you intentionally forget their name as a way of showing that. Sorry if I wasn't clear about what's-his-name. Does the previous sentence clear it up? As far as the rest of your statement, it's very likely that my earlier sources were false. I admitted that when I wrote the original message. I now have two stories, both of which are hearsay. However, neither one of them refutes my theory, which you had nothing to say about.
