sounds good to me, we need eyes and ears everywhere, I can't believe that Pres. Carters old CIA hatchet man Stansfield Turner is still getting press time from the media, he's the creep that single handedly dismanteled the CIAs covert ops programs....and he is yet today given credibility, makes me sick. The war against terrorism continues.... The involvement in Iraq continues.... The head fakes from Iran continue, will the Israelis take the Nuclear plants out...? The same old patterns from North Korea, what do we do there....? and thats just the tip of the iceberg...... Pray Kerry is defeated in November.... Hawk are you listening.....whats new in Baghdad....???? Hot enough for you...? Hows the food where you're at, hows the night life in Baghdad...? Do the Iraqi people have internet access yet....? regards and keep puffin those Cubans Chuck

I don't buy this story. I would assume that as a subversive organization that protects its security as best it can, AQ is divided up into cells, thus making it very difficult for the mid-level operatives to know who the others are. Plus, the terrorist threat no longer exclusively arises from AQ. There are lots of affiliated groups that we don't know a thing about, i.e., the group that did the Madrid train bombings. This is a real threat, though it is doubtful that these smaller groups can engage in the kind of massive terror that AQ can. It's nice bit of disinformation, though. Make the bastards nervous.
