Its so strange, I'm reading a book called "The looming tower Al Qaeda and the road to 9/11" the start of the book lays out biographies of the major players in the move to the radical Islamic movement and Osama Bin Laden does not come across as your typical terrorist. He came across as a very devout Muslim who treated his children very well, including one that was born with fluid on the brain and mental ######ation. He treated his wives well and even let them continue to work. He lived modestly but he loved riding horses and playing soccer. He wasn't brilliant or a talented student. He was generous to a fault both to his friends and to charity.
Between this book and a few others that I've read on Bin Laden, he just doesn't come across as the monster that I almost want to see.
