>>>Close, but no. He's suggesting why bin Laden is Bushy boy's best
friend- he (O.B. Laden) provides the excuse for the movement against
civil liberty, the justification for short-cuts. <<<
Oh come on. Now I agree with the opinion that you offer about BinBush, but I
don't need to read your post ten times to figure out what you're trying to
say. And, I like the idea that Pynchon is saying that. But I don't see it in
the passage at all. Well I see fragments that seem to point in that
direction, and the more I read his way of saying it the less likely I think
it is that he is writing creatively or ambiguously. I think it is shitty
writing. If it is creative ambiguity, I don't find it pleasurable to read.
But, I'm re-reading GR, and I find it blissful to read. I definitely lean
towards the Otto/MalignD/Mackin position on this one. Poseurs rule, dude.
