I didn't take the speculation that it was Al Queda seriously either.

I took it as an indication that author of this tripe was an ignorant conspiracy minded nutbag passing off speculative tripe to his idiotic audience to get them whipped up into a frenzy.

By pointing out just how ludicrous a suggestion it was, it should indicate to any serious person that the author is talking out of his anal orifice.
