Subject: Ex-CIA Man Says No "Al-Qaeda" Left, but "War on Terror"
Keeps Expanding
Only Two Dozen "Al-Qaeda" Left, Says Ex-CIA Man
But threat of terror network's deadly reach continues to be hyped
by global arms contractors, security corporations, media and
government

Former CIA case officer Marc Sageman says the membership of "Al-
Qaeda" has dwindled to a paltry two dozen people, and its
leadership is completely cut off from the mostly "petty criminals
and gang members" that are now the target of the war on terror.
Such a sweeping denouncement of the strength of Al-Qaeda is at odds
with the constantly hyped threat of the terror network by media
outlets and government.
"Dr Sageman said al-Qaeda's leaders had been all but cut off from
the current crop of jihadists and comprised no more than two dozen
people. The threat was now coming from home-grown young men in
their early 20s who recruited mostly on the internet," reports
news.com.au.
"Sageman said there were "potentially thousands" of these "new"
terrorists, although they were incapable of replacing older terror
networks because of their self-organising, independent structure.
Many were petty criminals or gang members who eventually drifted
back to their Islamic roots."
Sageman's conclusions also wildly contradict the findings of a
recent military intelligence report, which asserted that Al-Qaeda
had restored itself to pre-9/11 strength.
The ex-CIA man's words are likely to be swept under the carpet by
global arms contractors and security companies, who have
collectively made well over a trillion dollars by propping up the
specter of Al-Qaeda's deadly threat.
"When the dust finally settles on the 'War on Terror', the next
generation will look back on the politicians, media and security
corporations mega-hyping of the Al Qaeda threat, and view it all in
a similar way to how we now look back on those who claimed their
nations were infected with witches in the 1600s and 1700s. That is,
with disbelief and disdain," comments blogger Darryl Mason.
"Future generations will also probably wonder why leaders like
President Bush, former British prime minister Tony Blair and soon-
to-be-former Australian prime minister John Howard expounded so
much energy, money and fear-mongering in hyping the "worldwide"
threat posed by Al Qaeda."
