So an interesting development of the week that was was the resurgence of the 21-year-old letter by Osama bin Laden in which the deceased al-Qaeda leader attempted to justify the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was written after the onslaught but prior, obviously, to his death. The

For weeks now I have attempted to understand why decent, intelligent, typically goodhearted people would openly support barbarism and bigotry. For a while I convinced myself they were unaware of the barbarism. Maybe somehow in a sea of slanted media, they didn’t see what really happened on October 7th…

As we and the world hold our collective breath in regard to what happens next in Israel, we scanned the net for questions that are currently being asked. Interestingly, the questions are fairly common from most sources, regardless of bias. The following seem to be what people most want to

[NOTE: The Intramuralist experienced some unforeseen technical difficulties over the weekend. Routine postings will resume as scheduled on Wed., Oct. 18th.
