Had Bin Laden Given Up?

The Daily Mail reports that Osama bin Laden told his children to live peacefully in the West where they would get a good education.  This is according to his brother-in-law Zakaria al-Sadah, whose sister was bin Laden's fifth wife, who also said bin Laden did not want his children and granchildren to follow the jihadist path.

Yeah, okay. I'm not saying this isn't true, but that it just seems really out of character for bin Laden, especially given that his sons have been considered possible heirs to his mantle of leadership within al-Qa'ida.
