Jewish World Review Sept. 18, 2006 / 25 Elul 5766 Osama wants to dance with somebody, too By Clarence Page http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | It's sad that Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston have decided to call it quits after 14 years, which sounds like a lifetime compared to most celebrity hookups. I only hope Brown didn't split out of irrational fear that Osama bin Laden might whack him. After all, the final days of their marriage coincide roughly with a report that the leader of al Qaeda has had a major crush on Houston. This word comes from the autobiography of Kola Boof, a Sudanese-American feminist poet and novelist who claims to be bin Laden's former mistress. In excerpts from "Diary of a Lost Girl" in the September Harper's magazine and on the magazine's Web site, Boof says she was kept against her will as Bin Laden's mistress for four months in 1996. During that time, she says, he showed a liking for marijuana, Van Halen's music, American TV shows, Playboy magazine and Ms. Houston. Curiously, she says he also expressed disrespect for black women, even though Boof is a dark-skinned African and he, by her own description, had "very sexy Negro-like facial features, forged by generations of desert sun." "He explained to me that to possess Whitney he would be willing to break his color rule and make her one of his wives," she writes. "I tried to hide my outrage at his racist remarks, but it would come to pass that for the entire time that I would be trapped in his palm, Whitney Houston's was the one name that would be mentioned constantly. "How beautiful she is, what a nice smile she has, how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and her husband, Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have women's husbands killed." Like the old song goes, love is strange. But imagine how Whitney's husband took this news tidbit. In the tough neighborhood where he grew up in Boston, threats of homicide over a love triangle are not to be taken lightly. So, now, as the crew said on Tom Joyner's national radio show after the news of the breakup, Osama may be rolling up to Whitney's doorsteps any day now. Hey, dealing with the thugs down the street is one thing. But, an international fatwah? Not cool, man. But, relax, Bobby. There's probably not much chance that you would be lined up in al Qaeda's bombsights. Ms. Boof's credibility has been challenged by none other then Peter Bergen, a leading bin Laden biographer, who describes Boof's claims as "delusional." Nevertheless, the Bush administration is probably taking notice. After all, Boof probably is no less credible than "Curveball," the code-named Iraqi defector who provided the CIA with the bogus information that Saddam Hussein was building mobile biological weapons labs. Or, for that matter, Ahmad Chalabi, once the darling of Vice President Cheney and other neo-conservatives, but since fallen out of favor, wanted for bank fraud in Jordan and currently under investigation by several U.S. government agencies. If federal agents and intelligence experts will believe those guys, why not Boof? In fact, knowing this administration, the National Security Agency could have a warrant-less wiretap or big-ears listening dish aimed at Whitney's crib even as we speak. After all, as Bush corrected a reporter in his Friday (Sept. 15) news conference, it's not eavesdropping, it's "the terrorist surveillance program." Court testimony and congressional debate indicates that the Bush administration is targeting for surveillance anyone who is suspected of being a terrorist, having contact with terrorists, or having contact with someone who has had contact with terrorists. In the name of "keeping America safe," this administration is ready to do whatever they and their compliant legal advisors think it takes, then argue about it later before the courts and Congress. And we know from Ron Suskind's book, "The One-Percent Doctrine," the administration's threshold for action is pretty low. The title comes from Vice President Cheney's view that possible terrorist threats with even a one percent likelihood must be treated as certainties. The result is actions like the Iraq invasion, a deployment of maximum force based on minimum facts. So it doesn't take much for the feds to come snooping these days. How could they pass up the possibility of a call to a major American singing star by the world's public-enemy No. 1? That's another possible reason for Brown, who has a history of drug and alcohol arrests, to want to flee his wife's company. Maybe he's worried about his privacy. Some folks just aren't ready for Bush's war on terror. Every weekday JewishWorldReview.com publishes what many in in the media and Washington consider "must-reading".
