from South East Asia to Morocco a wall of iron has descended upon the key cells of terror, from Abu Sayyaf to Osama to entire terrorist hidden leadership the message is clear run as fast as you can

More half-truths!

Tell the WHOLE story so that your readers know exactly what is happening in your country. How much support does Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda have in Pakistan?

Pew Research reported:

In the predominantly Muslim countries surveyed, anger toward the United States remains pervasive, although the level of hatred has eased somewhat and support for the war on terrorism has inched up. Osama bin Laden, however, is viewed favorably by large percentages in Pakistan (65%), Jordan (55%) and Morocco (45%)

The above was before the Iraqi prisoner abuse scandals - and note that people in Pakistan were more supportive of bin Laden, than even Jordan and Morocco!

Ed Bice, executive director of People's Opinion Project put it more graphically:

One interesting statistic out of the poll is that if Osama bin Laden were a candidate in a democratic election -- and this is me extrapolating from the poll -- but, we can think that if Osama bin Laden were a candidate for office in Pakistan that he would be a serious contender. Sixty-five percent of respondents in Pakistan had a favorable rating of Osama bin Laden

It would behove you to keep in mind what Franklin Roosevelt said:
