[lit-ideas] Re: Shaken and Stirred - al Qaeda Lately

VOA is American propaganda.  It always has been. Al Qaeda is now all over the 
place.  Even capturing bin Laden can't stop it.  We captured Saddam and that 
did exactly nothing.  Pakistan seems to string us along, always promising, 
occasionally coming up with a token, and all the while, nothing changes.

A Chill For Al-Jazeera
New York Post ^ | September 27, 2005

Of the 18 Islamist militants sentenced in Madrid yesterday , one stands out. 
Tayseer Alouni, a "journalist" for Al-Jazeera ? the Arab TV network ? was 
sentenced to seven years for terrorist "collaboration." 
No surprise there. The channel has become the essential media platform for 
various al Qaeda-linked groups ? while masquerading as a news organization.

BAGHDAD AND CAIRO ? In a succession of intelligence breaks, the US says it has 
killed two key members of Al Qaeda in Iraq in recent days, including the 
organization's No. 2 man who is suspected of orchestrating a series of suicide 
bombings in Baghdad since April.

the past month. Since the middle of August, the US has reported killing or 
capturing at least 16 members of Al Qaeda in Iraq, led by the Jordanian 
militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Pakistan Calls Osama Bin Laden Isolated, Ineffective
VOA News ^ | September 26, 2005 | Benjamin Sand

Excerpt:
Senior Pakistani officials claim to have effectively destroyed al-Qaida's 
communications network in Pakistan, and say terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden is 
almost completely isolated and out of touch.

Pakistan's military spokesman, Major General Shaukat Sultan, says it takes the 
terrorist leader more than two months to exchange information with his al-Qaida 
associates. "So that clearly indicates that Osama, at this moment, is 
isolated," he said. "He is no longer effective as an operational commander or 
an al-Qaida commander."
