With Bin Laden's death, here is a repeat of the Bin Laden biographical timeline I prepared in 2007 to chart the course of the growth of his jihadist attitudes. This was done in answer to the 911Truth nonsense that he was a "CIA creation."

Sunday, 1 May 2011, Mr. Obama announces the killing of Saudi jihadist Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan. The country celebrates.
So does killradio. Not that we support the bloodthirsty "may he rot in hell" attitudes being expressed, but we are well aware of the symbolic power of this act -- cutting off the head of the founder and primary funder of Al Qaeda should lead to its eradication.
But I also recall the denial of reality by so many people when it came to the actions that occurred on September 11, 2001. I did on air debates with some 911Truthers, who claimed that Bin Laden was a "CIA creation" as part of the "false flag" operation that they called September 11.
In 2007, after doing such a debate with killradio founder and 911Truther Chris, I prepared a concise Bin Laden biographical timeline leading up to September 11, 2001 to show how his ideas developed over time.
Here I replay that timeline, to remind listeners of who Bin Laden really was and how we got here.
