"Place an argument in the mouth of bin Laden and many will view it as discredited for that reason alone, without engaging the ideas directly...
...This will inevitably be fodder for the ridiculous claims of unscrupulous pundits that some politicians are in league with Al Qaeda. "
Your latter statement is the reason that I think arguments presented by bin Laden SHOULD be discredited. In my opinion, they are designed to only foster discord and division - not the debate that is essential to the democratic process.
