U.S. Accused of Making Up al-Qaida Letter
ABC News ^ | Oct 13, 2005 | Unattributed

Posted on 10/13/2005 2:54:18 PM PDT by Ben Mugged

A posting on an Islamic Web site Thursday accused the United States of fabricating a letter in which al-Qaida's No. 2 leader asked for money and laid out the terrorist group's plans for expanding the insurgency in the Middle East.

"We in al-Qaida declare that there is no truth to these claims, and they are baseless, except in the imagination of the politicians of the Black (White) House," according to the statement on a Web site known as a clearing house for al-Qaida material.

The statement was signed Abu Maysara, who claims to be spokesman for al-Qaida in Iraq. It could not immediately be authenticated.

"We call on Muslims not to pay attention to this cheap propaganda and to remember that the media will always be the infidels' sole weapon until the end of the battle," the statement said.

U.S. officials said the letter dated July 9 to al-Qaida-linked Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, first disclosed by the Pentagon on Friday and released in full on Tuesday, was acquired during American operations in Iraq.

As soon as I saw that letter, that was my take on it.
It's one of those things you hope is true, but it's too good to be true.
The hundred thousand request was what put it over the veracity edge for me.
Still, I hope I'm wrong.

Well, if it came from CBS and Dan Rather, I would understand why they'd say that. Since it didn't, I think they're lying and whining.

Nope... they've been saying the day the letter was released to the public:

"How we know it's real?"

And now that the Jihadists have "questioned" it's authenticity, the Leftwits are all too willing to dismiss it as fake.
