Osama ‘plug’ boosts anti-US book

The message, thought to be from Bin Laden, contained threats of new attacks on the US, but also a call for a long-term truce.

[Bin Laden]told Americans: “If Bush carries on with his lies and oppression it would be useful for you to read the book ‘The Rogue State.’”

New attacks and a long-term truce.

[Blum] has described the 11 September 2001 attacks on New York and Washington as “an understandable retaliation against US foreign policy”, but makes clear that this is not a justification of them.

9/11 was an understandable retaliation against US foreign policy and not a justification of it.

9/11 was an understandable retaliation against US foreign policy and not a justification of it.

Of course it’s possible to understand something without justifying it. Nothing confusing there.
