Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower

In his latest tape, Osama bin Laden states, "If Bush declines but to continue lying and practicing injustice [against us], it is useful for you to read the book of "The Rogue State", the introduction of which reads: If I were a president, I would halt the operations against the United States."

WASHINGTON -- Osama bin Laden has a book recommendation for you.

In the audiotape released Thursday, the al Qaeda leader said: "If you (Americans) are sincere in your desire for peace and security, we have answered you. And if (President) Bush decides to carry on with his lies and oppression, then it would be useful for you to read the book 'Rogue State.'"

That would be "Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower," published in May 2000 with a new edition in November 2005. Its author is William Blum of Washington, D.C.

But bin Laden was mistaken about a quote he read that he attributed to the Introduction of "Rogue State." He actually read an excerpt from another of Blum's books, "Freeing the World to Death: Essays on the American Empire.
