One of the founders of Al Qaeda has written a book repudiating terrorism and railing against Usama bin Laden and deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri.

The Daily Telegraph newspaper reports Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, better known as Doctor Fadl, led an Islamist insurgency in Egypt in the 1990s. Now he writes that the terrorist attacks on 9/11 were both immoral and counterproductive: "Ramming America has become the shortest road to fame and leadership among the Arabs and Muslims. But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy's buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours?"

Fadl says the murder of innocent people goes against Islam: "Every drop of blood that was shed or is being shed in Afghanistan and Iraq is the responsibility of bin Laden and Zawahiri and their followers."

Former Vice President Al Gore is removing a dramatic slide in his global warming presentation. The New York Times reports Gore used a graph from a disaster research center in Brussels to illustrate that human-driven climate change is, "creating weather-related disasters that are completely unprecedented."

But the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, which came up with the raw data, says no such direct correlation can be proven: "Justifying the upward trend in hydro-meteorological disaster occurrence and impacts essentially through climate change would be misleading. Climate change is probably an actor in this increase but not the major one... We need to be cautious when interpreting disaster data... and remain objective scientific observers."

I don’t think that it’s right to “rip into” the dead.

“But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy’s buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours?”

That has such a nice ring to it; a wonderful image!

Did the Imam also condemn aggressive global prosthelization as well as tendency to oppress other religions within Islam, as well?

A sprout of common sense amongst the muzzies?

Leadership turning on each other is usually an end stage development. Let’s hope that’s the case here.

So it was wrong because....it didn’t work?

Until Bush came along there weren’t any consequences so therefore OBl’s assertion that the US was a paper tiger had been true up to W’s election.

OBL didn’t take into consideration what the Japanese encountered after Pearl Harbor and the problem of waking a sleeping giant.

Alphabet media blackout...move along.
