U.S. nabs al-Qaida Web site producer (Good Article)
NBC News ^ | October 16 2005 | Ashraf al-Taie

Posted on 10/16/2005 4:32:26 PM PDT by jmc1969

The Web site run by al-Qaida in Iraq was strangely quiet during the referendum. There were no threats against voters, no boasts of disrupting the vote.

And now we know one reason why. Dijana was responsible for much of what has appeared on the Web site called "al-Qaida in Iraq," including provocative videos of suicide bombings and crucial communications to al-Qaida fighters.

Here is how the al-Qaida site works: On any given day in any of a dozen cities, a suicide bomb explodes. The target is an American convoy, local Iraqi police or perhaps civilians exiting a mosque. Within minutes, a report is sent out by news services like The AP and MSNBC.com. But, the news also circulates on a fascinating and, some would say, disturbing Web site operated by al-Qaida.

The "al-Qaida in Iraq" Web site immediately takes "credit" for the bombing. In one typical case, just three hours after an attack, the site showed video of a man identified as the suicide bomber Abu Musab al-Iraqi, who says, "I have dreamed about this moment. I am sure if my family is watching this they will be more proud of me."

Musab's words are followed by a video of a car he is said to be driving, blowing up in the midst of an American convoy. The incident is replayed again and again with more of Musab's speech superimposed over the ball of flames and smoke rising above the U.S. convoy. "Thank God this day I went to kill many crusaders." His declaration ends, "Today I will be in heaven."

The Web site’s home page features pictures of Zarqawi and Osama bin Laden.

With commercial planes we turned America into hell." The Web site also publishes detailed analyses of the sometime cryptic statements released by the two al-Qaida leaders.

The Republican party has become, with Bush's 39% job approval ratings, as much of a joke as the Free Republic site is.

Now, since you guys are unable to defend your position against even the weakest resistance, I suggest you immediately delete this post and cover your ears and sing "LALALALALALALALA."

What kind of sick mind would describe videos of suicide bombings as "provocative". Our press absolutely sucks.

Before you will banned, go an tell the DUmmies that before the end of this year the terrorist insurgency in Iraq will almost dead if not completely dead. You terrorists allies are losing very badly and they could not stop the vote yesterday. And yes, the Constitution has been approved.

The "al-Qaida in Iraq" site, available to members only, features highly detailed tutorials on bomb-making, strategy for assassinations, and even a workshop on hacking into secret American government Web sites. The Web site claims it has 4,000 members.

What happens when a FReeper posts on DU? Are the results as hilarious as ZOTs?

I really don't know, but I'm sure someone here can tell you. I'm just betting that FReeper comments are more intelligent than the pathetic trolls we seem to get.
