Special report: Is Al Qaeda in pieces?
Interesting read from The Independent. Just goes to show that "al Qeada" was on it's last legs before 9/11 and it's only the response from the Bush admin that has kept it alive, apparently 9/11 was to be Bin Ladens last throw of the dice. Benotman says that Bin Laden...

9/15/20 Kevin Gosztola: Day Six of the Assange Extradition Hearing
Kevin Gosztola is back for an update on Julian Assange’s extradition hearing. He describes the great line-up of witnesses being summoned by Assange’s defense team and how easily, for the most part, they’ve been able to dismantle the arguments from the prosecution. It’s unclear, however, how effective any kind of reasoned argument about the facts will be, given that we know this whole hearing has been conducted on political grounds from the beginning. The case the U.S. government wants to bring against Assange is based on the conspiracy theory that he deliberately directed Chelsea Manning to steal classified information, and the attempt to brand Wikileaks not as a journalistic organization, but as a hostile intelligence agency. Gosztola reminds us what kind of a precedent this could set: if the grounds for Assange’s extradition are that he, an Australian citizen living in Britain, revealed U.S. government secrets, then could any country extradite anyone for publishing something their government didn’t like? This, Gosztola and Scott agree, is a truly terrifying prospect.
