While she hasn’t be completely honest, no one has accused her or the group of being advocates for al Qaeda.
Hyperbole doesn’t help the writer who is trying to point out another’s deception.
I hear your point about the use of hyperbole. However, it seems to me that in this case, she has been advocating for al-Qaeda, just not calling it that. Just like Obama supported “Arab Spring”, which meant he supported the Muslim Brotherhood taking over. Ted Cruz pointed out recently that 7 of the 9 major rebel groups have ties to al-Qaeda. Since O’Bagy and her organizations are advocating for the Rebel groups, then they are by definition advocating for al-Qaeda.
