Bin Laden's poisonous ideology began to wither on 9/11

Peter Bergen

May 7, 2011 9:25 p.m. EDT

Despite his reputation for shyness and diffidence, Osama bin Laden ran al-Qaeda as a dictatorship, Peter Bergen says.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Bush had predicted al-Qaeda's destiny in "history's unmarked grave of discarded lies"

Some in bin Laden's inner circle had warned him against riling the U.S., Peter Bergen writes

In the end, it was bin Laden's own zealotry and hubris that spelled his end, Bergen says

Bergen: "Jihadists will be mindful that their world has passed them by"
