William Blum’s proud of the company he keeps

One book I won’t be buying:
William Blum is nuts. He has ranted hysterically against the US for years in bizarre conspiracy theories that I think he’s dreamt up himself ( like the US sending Mandella to prison ). As pathetic as Blum obviously is, this is just as bad:
William Blum’s "Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only Superpower" was ranked 209,000 on Amazon.com’s sales list before bin Laden mentioned it in an audiotape released on Thursday. By Friday, the book was No. 30 on the Amazon.com list.
People are buying his writings ONLY because Osama Bin Laden mentioned it. What do these people THINK Bin Laden reads? I’ll give them a clue. If it’s unpatriotic, trashes the US, and is fully intent on creating ill-will between the US and other countries, any terrorist is gonna love it. It doesn’t matter if it’s factual or not. Make it up. Make it as bad as you can. Send a copy to the terrorist of your choice and have him endorse it and you’ve got a hit. I am quite sure at this point Zarqawi is itching for a deal. Michael Moore must be seething with envy. Look for a Moore/Zarqawi endorsement soon.
