Guys, that video made the rounds a LONG time ago. It’s Osama in a cave, surrounded by a few flacks, right? I’m surprised none of you saw it. It was aired on CNN repeatedly.
He might be headed for some caves in, where was it, Bora Bora or something like that? Never mind, a company of Marines will get him any day now and bring him here for trial.
Friend Bricker is not guilty. Or, at least, not indictable. Much the same thing, in some circles.
I myself have crossed words with him, and presented arguments of such utter clarity and irrefutable fact that I fairly expected him to fling himself at my feet in abject renunciation of his error. In which I have been disappointed.
But in this instance, error was made and error admitted. Nolo contendere and * stark staring decisis*, go, and sin no more. The bar is open.
Bricker, bin Laden. bin Laden, Bricker.
Both B words. It’s a natural mistake anyone could make.
In fact, I believe the original title of the infamous August 6 PDB was “Bricker Determined to Attack Inside the United States.”
