The photo is also meant to show the ways in which Caribbean kite makers use political themes, and I felt that the image of Bin Laden was the one that was most recognizable to GV's readers. Richard,

Although it is a wonderful image I feel duped. Best regards, thebookmann Dear Ms. Popplewell, The image of the “Kite Bin Laden ready for flight in Barbados” is misleading as it is a photography from 2001-2002 who knows, the point here is that Global Voices gives the illusion that all post are current hence, your date of the post. Although it is a wonderful image I feel duped.
