#1 Sea, found an extended version of this article here.

He hits all of Osama's talking points and isn't the least bit displeased by his newest fan or the attention he's getting. Why am I not surprised he was part of the State Department??

#2 Osama wants a cut of the increased sales. Access to funds for virin access is tight.

#3 I have seen this author talk and argued with him in person. I think he is a complete idiot. DON'T BUY HIS BOOK!

#4 From the extended version of the article:

Blum said his lifeâs mission has been this: "If not ending, at least slowing down the American Empire. At least injuring the beast. Itâs causing so much suffering around the world."

Can you imagine how the American public would have reacted toward an author who had been endorsed by Hitler during WW2, and who had made comments like the one above? I find it difficult to understand the indifference to the best interests, or even the survival, of our civilization by so many today.
