A 3 year old article on bin Laden – sort of like a “best of”. I was amazed at the number of times the plots to blow up jumbo jets came up.

The article also briefly mentions “…Afghan rebels trained and equipped by the CIA”, but Bearden sort of refutes that further down.

“We didn’t train Arabs,” Bearden said. “We did not train anybody anywhere in the world to use truck bombs or car bombs. . . .Sometimes you work with unsavory people to deal with acute evils.”

Maybe nobody asked the right question. Ok, so he didn’t train Arabs, but what about Afghanis?
