So, the BBC has a new epithet to use about Osama bin Laden (emphasis mine).
Saudi Arabia is home to some of Islam's holiest sites and the deployment of US forces there was seen as a historic betrayal by many Islamists, notably Osama Bin Laden.
It is one of the main reasons given by the Saudi-born dissident - blamed by Washington for the 11 September attacks - to justify violence against the United States and its allies.
Heh. "Dissident." Charming.
Or, as Andrew Sullivan put it:
Sakharov, Walesa, bin Laden. That's the mind of the BBC.
(As always, a tip o' the title to Adam)
