I didn’t know any of this:
De Void couldn’t help but recall the power of archetypes as news of Osama Bin Laden’s death reverberated across the globe — and the way he laid it all out in the chilling videotape seized by U.S. troops shortly after the invasion of Afghanistan.
In it, a jubilant Bin Laden [...]
