"As an aside, some network anchors and others have taken, in recent days, to pronouncing the name of this depraved demoniac Oh-sah-ma, because it is spelled, in press accounts, with an O. Whereas, on the FBI Ten-Most-Wanted List, Mr. Bin Ladens Christian name (if you will) is rendered as Usama, with a U. The truth is, that, when first the infant demon was diapered, in 1957, his birth certificate appeared in Arabic script. Therefore, when his name is spelled with Roman letters, it is spelled phonetically, as it sounds; and since it is properly pronounced with a soft U as in us, or a soft O as in of, it can be spelled with either O or U. But it is properly pronounced, Uss-ah-ma. I offer this pronunciation guide as it is seemly that we speak the name correctly as we spit on his death notice and delete him from the memory of man.
