Bin Laden has approval from an Islamic cleric for 10 million American deaths

What if there are ten million and one? Religion of Peace Update from CNN, with thanks to Doug:

Michael Scheuer, who once headed the CIA's bin Laden unit, says bin Laden has been given permission by a young cleric in Saudi Arabia authorizing al Qaeda to "use nuclear weapons against the United States ... capping the casualties at 10 million."

"He's had an approval, a religious approval for 10 million deaths?" I asked him.

"Yes," Scheuer responded.
