on that. But it also bears repeating that most of the Bin Laden family (and there was something like 50 siblings?) had very little sympathy with his extremist views - or hatred of the west and the U.S. in particular.

And, yes - well aware of the Wahhabi/Saudi connection - but it still seems as though Bin Laden family, as well as other Saudi elites, have gone in a much different direction than Osama. That being said - time and past for some real daylight between the U.S. and the Saudi regime.
