Ask a Terrorist
Experts like Brachman say that the group's media blitz has been effective in drawing new recruits to the jihadi cause. Nonetheless, he is somewhat skeptical about whether Zawahiri--one of the masterminds of the 9/11 attacks--will engage in a genuine online exchange or whether he will just answer planted questions from Al Qaeda propagandists. "If they do go with real questions, they'll definitely be very selective about which ones they answer," he says.
Rita Katz, director of the SITE Institute for terrorism analysis, believes, however, that Al Qaeda is making a real effort to reach journalists. "This will be an authentic interview," she says. "If anything, I think there will be such a huge volume of questions [that] I don't think Zawahiri will be able to answer all of them."

Comment: Faminchin, you call what the Iraqis are experiencing "Freedom"? You obviously have no idea what freedon s seeing that you have never experienced the lack thereof. American arrogance is wha has caused mot of the anti-ameicanism so profound across the world,Western europea and South American countries included. The sad thing is that Americans have not suffered the pain of war on our own lands since the Civil War. Americans just jam their fat asses into Suvs and gripe about the prce of gas. Some people act like 9/11 was the worst thing that ould have happened to America, and although tragic, it was not near the caliber of horror that has gone on in places like Darfur, Bosinia, and Iraq. If we were the occupied country things would be a whole lot different. Its so disgusting how people who are figting against the ocupation of their land by foreign entities are called insurgents or by their fellow country men patriots. They are doing what any proud patriot of any nation would do. The right winged fanatic Americans jusify their mass murder by makingi some kind of crusade. I used to be proud of this counry, but Bush and his cowboy crusaders have left little to envy. I am ashamed of America's moden Colonization of foreign lands.They only procede to villanze muslims so that no one contests the America brand of terrorism. So much for the land of the free and the home of the brave. I have lost all faith in our leaders and fellow citizens who breed hate in order to make material gains. What makes American soldiers' lives more valualble than the soldiers of other nations or Christans lives more valuable that those of other faiths? Wake up and smell the truth people, what we are doing is wrong, and we have no one to blame but ourselves for our ignorant complacency.

Comment: Al Qaeda is succeding in one thing and that is highlighting all the ugliness of a religeon that claims to be a beautiful gift to the world. HUH. If we could see into the hearts of men we would see an evil darkness in these so-called devout followers of Mohammed and he would be looking back at us like a demon who wants only to destroy the good and have the world flow with the blood of all the non-believers.

Comment: To attempt to compare these cowardly terrorist that hide behind women and children to the United State Military is a complete joke! You have one group that blows themselves up, killing anybody and everybody around them, and you have the US Military that does everything in their power to avoid killing while upholding the peace and hunting down these savages. You sound like a Democratic Congressman! Why do you hate these brave men and women who volunteered to serve in the military? What is so hard about giving them the credit they deserve. Remember how people like yourself said we could never invade Iraq, the streets would run with blood? Yet in about a week our troops walked freely down the streets of Bagdad.
The American troops are in Iraq, building hospitals, schools, homes...repairing the instructure that the cowardly terrorist continue to destroy....and you try to compare the two........your warpped!
