tormented man,” X notes that Y reduces and degrades
Africans to "limbs," "angles," "glistening white
eyeballs," etc.

Controversy over Conard‟s novel Heart of
Darkness.

A couple of people broke the news of Osama Bin
Laden‟s death quite a bit before the rest of the
world did. One was Donald Rumsfeld's Chief of
staff Keith Urbahn . He tweeted at 10:24 pm (EDT)
that sources told him OBL was dead. This makes
sense due to how connected in the military he is.
However, at exact same time, another person
tweeted out that he'd heard news that would shock
the world, referring to OBL's death. Equally
shocking, though, was that he knew about it before
so many other connected people!
Who is this person?

several victories over the Romans between
147 BC and 139 BC before he was betrayed

celebrated by its people throughout the
centuries. Who is this?
