Terrorists lie:

By Jules Crittenden on al qaeda

<<< BAGHDAD — Over the past year, Iraqis heard several audio recordings by a mysterious terrorist leader named Omar al-Baghdadi singing the praises of al-Qaida and urging his followers to attack U.S. troops.

The whole thing was a sham, the U.S. military said Wednesday. Al-Baghdadi actually was a fictional character dreamed up by al-Qaida in Iraq to bolster its local credibility because the group largely is run by non-Iraqis. The voice heard in the recordings belonged to an Iraqi actor. >>>


The version linked above leaves out AP’s extensive discussion of how, by the new evidence of AQI’s direct contacts with AQ Mission Control, the U.S. military is trying to sway gullible senators into thinking Iraq is a front in the war against Islamic extremism.

That’s here:


<<< BAGHDAD — The U.S. command announced on Wednesday the arrest of an al-Qaida leader it said served as the link between the organization’s command in Iraq and Osama bin Laden’s inner circle.

The announcement was made as the White House steps up efforts to link the war in Iraq to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, with a growing number of Americans opposing the Iraq conflict. Some independent analysts question the extent of al-Qaida’s role in Iraq. >>>


OK. Back to the news. Just so long as you understand that everything else the U.S. military tells you in this report is non-AP-approved propaganda.
