Dear Editor: Kevin Barrett should be familiar to people who read the Madison papers last February as he made the claim to be an expert on Osama bin Laden and said that bin Laden’s videotape taking credit for 9/11 was a forgery produced by the CIA.
I would like to raise some serious questions about the opinions of Kevin Barrett, who calls himself an Islamologist and Arabist and contends that the recent tape of Osama bin Laden is a fake produced by the CIA and that bin Laden has been dead since 2001 or 2002.
