"Homeland Security... they also know it's bogus... I don't want to say that this government only excels in or practices disinformation but on the question of 9/11 and Bin Laden's role in it there is... a kind of master narrative that really begins with a premise that he must have done it.

Bruce Lawrence , Duke Professor of Religion and Osama Bin Laden in reference to a purported Bin Laden confession tape
"Claim everything. Explain nothing. Deny everything."
