S.C. Mom Scoops al - Qaida With Its Videos By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: September 20, 2007 Filed at 9:31 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Once her son is off to school, Laura Mansfield settles in at her dining room table with her laptop and begins trolling Arabic-language message boards and chat rooms popular with jihadists. Fluent in Arabic, the self-employed terror analyst often hacks into the sites, translates the material, puts it together and sends her analysis via a subscription service to intelligence agencies, law enforcement and academics. Occasionally she comes across a gem, such as when she found a recent Osama bin Laden video -- before al-Qaida had announced it. ''I realized, oh my gosh, I'm sitting here, I'm a fat 50-year-old mom and I've managed to scoop al-Qaida,'' said Mansfield, who uses that name as a pseudonym because she receives death threats. She sometimes spends 100 hours a week online, and she often finds items after word has begun spreading on the Arabic forums of an imminent release. ''It's really important to understand what the jihadists think and how they're planning on doing things,'' she said. ''They're very vocal. They tell us what they're going to do and then they go out and do it.'' Mansfield tips off her intelligence sources when she does find something new, part of an informal working relationship with the government. ''When I send them something, it's welcome,'' she said. ''They thank me.'' There have been times when an impending video release has kept her from a planned shopping trip with her daughter. ''It gets really challenging when you're trying to do that and cook spaghetti at the same time,'' she said.

The true evil-doers are the GOP rightwing. Look at the results. Ignore the rhetoric and posturing (taking the Lord's name in vain and pretending to be our troops best friend) and look at the results. The GOP right have been ungodly and insanely destructive to our military and national security. Who have they benefited? War profiteers, terrorists and extremists in Iran. The GOP right has also massed trillions in debt we will all have to start paying off as soon as Bush leaves his mess behind for the next guy. I also heard a taped quote by Jerry Falweel on the radio today. It sounded exactly like an Al Qaida terrorist, taking the Lord's name in vain to promote world war and Armageddon. As if Jesus would support the Bushie war-without-end for one second. if Jesus could, he'd cast the entire rightwing into the Lake Of Fire. You people are evil. Truly evil.
