Michael Scheuer: bin Laden's Enduring Threat

Ever since Osama bin Laden became America's international Public Enemy Number One, politicians and pundits have strained to depict him as an increasingly irrelevant, marginalized, even historical figure. But Michael Scheuer, former head of the CIA's bin Laden Unit, believes this contributes to a dangerous denial of bin Laden's continuing significance and power. Scheuer, author of Osama bin Laden, instead finds bin Laden a man of remarkable leadership skills, strategic genius, and considerable rhetorical abilities-in other words, a truly formidable and implacable enemy.
