Letter: Bin Laden has media access

Friday, Oct. 12, 2001 | 4:26 a.m.

In the old days terrorists had to point guns at the heads of restrained hostages in order to get their message broadcast all over the world.

Things have sure changed. Just ask Osama bin Laden. Without the aid of a pistol-whipped hostage, he has had his message broadcast on all the television networks and printed in many major newspapers.

He sure must have some great PR people, or is funneling great amounts of money to the media decision makers. How else do you explain his ability to access our media outlets whenever he wants, with whatever message he chooses? I guess he's just exercising his right to free speech.
