At The End Of The Day, Osama Bin Laden's Interest Is Not Washington And New York, It's The Middle East. He Wants Saudi Arabia. He Wants To Get Rid Of The House Of Saud. There's A Great Deal Of Resentment, Even Inside The Royal Family, At The Continued Military Presence Of The United States There.

And It's True, You Hear Things In Damascus And, After A Few Hours, The Human Double-take Stops Operating.

It's A Journalist's Job To Be A Witness To History. We're Not There To Worry About Ourselves. We're There To Try And Get As Near As We Can, In An Imperfect World, To The Truth And Get The Truth Out.

Osama Bin Laden Is Very Shrewd. But He Struck Me, Even In 1997, As Being Remarkably Out Of Touch. I Remember Thinking This Does Not Look Like The Type Of Guy Who Walks To The Top Of A Mountain With A Mobile Phone And Says, "operation B, Attack."now He Is America's Number One Enemy. He's Always Wanted To Be That.

Bin Laden Is Not Well Read And He's Not Sophisticated, But He Will Have Worked Out Very Coldly What America Would Do.
