Why targeted against Dems and leftist media?

The Al Queda Muslims don't know such fine distinctions. Or they sorta know but don't really care and are sending them out for maximum impact.

If this keeps up they can put a real crimp in the postal service with their next targets being UPS FedEx etc..... Suffice it to say the people who handle mail might start rebelling. They are fearful.

IMHO, the reason Al Quaeda are targeting the American Left is that this is the component of America that threatens them the most. They are sick of leftist do-gooder NGOs messing up their economy and telling them how to live, how to raise their kids, and how to farm their land. They are afraid of American advertising and culture abetting loose sex in a nation with no means to control the spread of AIDS that would turn them into another Southern Africa. They know that food aid programmes mess up their local agricultural markets. They fear pagan klepto-fascist UN population control and a corporate takeover of their country and their freedom.

Do they need any more reason than that?

Let me ask a stupid question. Why targetted against Dems and leftist media?

Is it? How do you know that Daschle was targeted because he's a Democrat? Maybe he was just targeted because...oh I dunno...because he's the top Senator in the country?

And how do you know that the attacker thinks of the media targets as "leftist"? What's so "leftist" about a tabloid news magazine?

As for guys like Brokaw - to a lot of true leftists, he's no "leftist" at all. He's a corporate mouthpiece in the service of the military industrial complex! didn't you know that?

So therefore, I think it was left-wing extremists!

Because of all the people in the USA the left is the most pervasive. Where else do you see Feminazi pushing woman's rights in foreign counties? Ya abortion in Afganistan, the Teliban would love it.

You see thread on the Saudi newspaper's rant against "Zionist" media?

It's a Jewish thing.

An editorial in the Saudi newspaper Okaz betrayed the anger the accusations have stirred.

The daily charged that "Zionists controlling the media in the United States are behind the false accusations against the kingdom.

"The main object of this Zionist media ... is to continue to mislead foreign policy institutions away from the real interests of the United States.

"Those who say that the kingdom is behind the Al-Qaeda organisation may as well say that the United States is also behind Al-Qaeda," Okaz said.

The Al-Qaeda network has every reason to try to disrupt the communications (i.e. media networks and news outlets, and yes, that would include AMI for a certain sector of the populous) of the country with which it is at war. That's the only m.o. that makes any sense, esp. given all the FLA connections and the stuff David Schippers has been talking about.
