The purpose of so terrorizing the nation's capital? To steal the initiative: To force all other news, including and perhaps especially the possibility of war with Iraq, off the air waves and the front pages, and thus ensure that terror rather than war is the main story once again.

I read this in the hard copy of the NYPost and the above paragraph cought my eye. No one on this thread has commented. Just who would not want the Iraqi war debate off the medias radar? Who is Mr. Carr implicating? al-Qaeda? Why would al-Qaeda want Iraq off the news? If not al-Qaeda who then?

Sorry about that:

My line should read: Just who would not want the Iraqi war debate off the media radar?

It wouldn't be the possibilty of war with Iraq that the AQ would be trying to suppresse, but all the discussion about the good reasons for going to war against Saddam Hussein. Even Oprah and ABC's nightline have been running anti-Saddam episodes of late. Cant' have that.
