Osama bin Laden criticized blacks

A reader in the Intelligence Community writes:

There I was, at my desk this afternoon minding my own business and doing my job, when my boss sends out an email (over the classified system) containing a translation of one of Osama bin Laden’s messages to an Al Qaida associate. Of course, I cannot divulge the contents, but it seems OBL had some very unflattering things to say about Africa and Africans in general, based on his own struggle to run a business in Sudan and the experiences of his underlings throughout Africa. He used words such “treacherous,” “deceitful,” “corrupt,” “anti-business,” “unreliable,” and he talks of one of his people being murdered there. Had the president and the attorney general known about these venomous, anti-black attitudes of OBL, I think they would have ordered him captured alive and brought to Guantanamo primarily to attend sensitivity training.

Ironically enough, treacherous, deceitful, corrupt, anti-business, unreliable, and murderous are apt enough words to describe Arabs.
