Debunking the Myth of Al Qaeda


Can't say how glad I am that a major publication is now saying what many of us have either suspected or, pretty much, known for a long time now. (Of course, the Wingers won't believe it. Newsweek will be accused of treason, and the American Reich will move on.)

But, knowing all this, is it such a huge step to rethink the possibility that Al Qaeda could not have pulled off 9/11, all by themselves, if their very lives had depended on it?

Oh, by the way, whatever happened to the anthrax investigation? Did the FBI lose interest in that, when they found out it was an inside job?

Hirsh: Debunking the Myth of Al Qaeda - Newsweek: International Editions - MSNBC.com:

"June 28, 2006 - The capture of Ibn Al-Shaykhal-Libi was said to be one of the first big breakthroughs in the war against Al Qaeda. It was also the start of the post-9/11 mythologizing of the terror group. According to the official history of the Bush administration, al-Libi (a nom de guerre meaning 'the Libyan') was the most senior Al Qaeda leader captured during the war in Afghanistan after running a training camp there for Osama bin Laden. Al-Libi was sent on to Egypt, where under interrogation he was said to have given up crucial information linking Saddam Hussein to the training of Al Qaeda operatives in chemical and biological warfare. His story was later used publicly by Secretary of State Colin Powell to justify the war in Iraq to the world."
