WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14 - READING: 'MESSAGES TO THE WORLD: THE
STATEMENTS OF OSAMA BIN LADEN' BY BRUCE LAWRENCE, 7PM

Bruce Lawrence's book collects 24 newly translated public statements
by Osama bin Laden.  Over the last ten years, bin Laden has issued a
series of carefully tailored public statements, from interviews with
Western and Arabic journalists to faxes and video recordings. These
texts supply evidence crucial to an understanding of the bizarre mix
of Quranic scholarship, CIA training, punctual interventions in Gulf
politics and messianic anti-imperialism that has formed the
programmatic core of Al Qaeda.
