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,

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

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

capturing at least 16 members of Al Qaeda in Iraq, led by the Jordanian

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."
