Just like some U.S. presidential wanabees, Osama bin Laden is a megalomaniac.
The al Qaeda leader, who was to go on and cause carnage at two U.S. embassies within two months, wanted to meet the American public via an ABC Television interview.
If the specter of bin Laden, the ABC television star isn’t enough, former ABC correspondent John Miller, testifying at the first Guantanamo war crimes trial, also recalled comparing bin Laden with U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt as he made small talk during filming of the May 28, 1998, interview at an Afghanistan mountain hideout.
