As I head out for the Fourth of July weekend (and hopefully spend time away from the computer), some brief Osama bin Laden/al-Qa'ida related stories from the past week that caught my eye:
- Intelligence recovered from Abbottabad reveals bin Laden considered changing al-Qa'ida's name in order to rebrand it in the Muslim world;
- A rumor that SEAL Team Six wore night vision contact lenses on the Abbottabad raid. (Question: Would such lens be subject to wash out like regular NVGs, and if so, wouldn't this make such lens a bad idea?); and finally
- PETA has apparently asked Pakistani President Asif Ali Zadari if they can decorate the walls of bin Laden's Abbottabad compound with animal rights slogans. No, really.
Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!
