The contents of Bin Laden's bookshelf declassified by U.S. government

The books are primarily concerned with modern geopolitics, the history of the war on terror, and counter-insurgency. They have titles like Al-Qaeda’s Online Media Strategies: From Abu Reuter to Irhabi 007 by Hanna Rogan and Hegemony or Survival: America’s Quest for Global Dominance by Noam Chomsky. This seems entirely natural: I can only hope that Bush and Blair also found the time to read a bit of Chomsky.

However, the article also mentions that he had 'works of conspiracy' as well...

Just so you know, I don't believe any of this.

Why are there only books in English/American?
I'm rather inclined to think that the Disclosure is aimed at influencing the minds of the American public.
A subtle warning by the "Big Discloser" to the people NOT to read these books, let alone treasure them in their bookshelves:
Lest they want to risk being labeled as conspiracy theorists, Bin Laden think-alikes, or just plain terrrists.

That's how a proper Nazi government would act, anyway.

Yup. A great way to link readers of books that question the official narrative to OBL.

I listed only the books that were just in English, in case not everyone wanted to go to the actual government site. If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to post the remainder from the list as well.

Looks like a double edged strategy. These books the majority will associate readers with danger to society, then those inclined to see truth beyond the authorised version, would be inclined to investigate those books. Knowing that its fair to say that this list is purposely selected for both groups. So a few books on the list or parts of many of them would have to fit the "conspiracy" agenda pathway the same authorities want the fringe to walk down.
 
Reading through the list it makes for some interesting analysis. For example the majority of these books focus attention on the political and moral demise of the superpower called America. When you look at how things are going, its not unreasonable to speculate that the actual demise is purposeful, along the lines of burning the phoenix to rise anew. Given the MSM is a tool for grooming the masses for acceptance of future scenarios, it also fair to speculate we are being groomed along the lines of what Noam Chomsky (on the "reading list") and his liberation theory seeks. Liberation theory and liberation theology have the same aim which is also a similar aim of Socialism, a controlled "fairness" and a controlled "equality". Noam Chomsky has a close history with the Jesuits who are the main proponents of liberation theology. So what's also rather telling of Osama's book shelf is the absence of the Jesuits as a line of inquiry about conspiratorial machinations. A book like Rulers of Evil by Tupper Saussy (been reading), that deals with these issues quite well is absent.
