Karen, you should be ashamed for re-printing this kind of ludicrous, fear-mongering sensationalism. Asia Times is a yellow-journalism rag. Where are the author's sources? Why has the mainstream press, otherwise sensationalistic to the core, not picked up on this bit of "news" which, if even half-true, would be making enormous world-wide headlines? Why this bit in the report? Asia Times Online has obtained a copy of the interview, and reproduces excerpts here, with the caveat that the identity of the man has not yet been confirmed, nor has his membership within al-Qaeda. Some caveat. They don't know who gave the interview. They "obtained" it from an unidentified source. A leading Islamist site did not print it. Hmmm....does that raise a few doubts in your mind? Why not mention these, ahem , uncertainties before swalling the story whole? You are irresponsible and I now remember why I had you on "ignore." But you are the absolute perfect target audience for the kind of BS contained in that report. Please use a bit of discretion and judgment before linking garbage like that here.
