LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION

Robert Spencer engages at Jihad Watch. If you’re still at all interested in this stuff, which isn’t going away all that fast… but will go away, at least in terms of the Dean’s World kerfuffle. On the other hand the substantive discussion on the issues — what is Islam, and is it any kind of problem? — is here, and it’s not going anywhere fast.
UPDATE: Updated.

Robert Spencer takes up the cudgel with Dinesh D’Souza. The overwhelming feedback I’ve gotten since posting on this topic is that D’Souza does not have a constituency within the conservative movement. I wish it were true, now that I see what D’Souza’s about, but does Robert’s description of the gallery comport with that?

Taliban Official: Bin Laden Is Alive.
I wasn’t buying it when they were showing OBL’s vacation videos during the year after 9/11, which everyone — everyone but the CIA, whose opinion is also entirely counter-indicative of the actual truth — knew had been taken in Tora Bora before it was leveled, if not earlier. I wasn’t buying it in the last year when they haven’t even dragged out the latest 8-track of his supposed voice, which itself was absurd: If he were alive, you know they’d put him on the screen.
Just the whole thing is preposterous. (My word of the year, sorry.) But now that they’ve come out and announced the contrary, short of his head in a basket — which, really, who among us really wants any part of? — I can’t imagine what else you’d want.
UPDATE: I have never felt so sure of myself on something like this!
UP-UP-UPDATE: Dead men tell no tales.
