Death of Bin Laden May Distract from a More Disturbing Story

May 15, 2011
Bin Laden was never indicted for the crime of 9/11 by US authorities, even though he was always regarded as a suspect. The media has lately referred to him as the “mastermind” of the attacks, when in actuality it is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed who has been officially named the mastermind, despite controversies regarding the reliability of his testimony and the nature of his role. More importantly, however, the role of the Pakistani ISI may well be even more significant than those of Osama Bin Laden and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
