That Playboy nonsense

[Julian Munro]

In our trying to make sense of it all, lies the blueprint to our character.
Some paint this journey in bold and  colourful passages, while others see the
road as dark and grim. There are issues larger than Bin Laden at play here.  I
do not know what they are, but I _do_ know that one man did not get up one
morning and decide to blow up some towers. What I allude to is mass
hysteria(Media) that is shaping the character of Bin Laden as we speak. He is
no longer his own "invention". Thus, he never really did exist as we know him.
An interesting moment on the BBC the other night when they used lookalikes to
recreate the Bin Laden Viideos. Right after, they screened "Wag the Dog". (?)
Media commenting on Media. It's like Alice through the looking Glass.
Anyway - no, I don't honestly believe that it was a Special Effect, but I'm
Paranoid enough to not but it past Them.
And You know who You are.
