Eric Margolis:
"Having followed al-Qaida from Day One, I can say with fair assurance that its members never communicate by email, phone, fax or any other electronic methods. Bin Laden would not even let people near him who had on wristwatches.
"Yet we are being told that Qaida's two senior leaders discussed in the open staging some sort of attack on US and western targets int he Mideast, setting of media hysteria in the US and closure of 22 US legations across the Muslim world?
"Reminds me of the vague red alerts we used to get during the Bush era that kept post-9/11 fear at a boil, with a big helping hand from the corporate media. Let's recall, even Leon Panetta said that there were no more than 25-50 al-Qaida in Afghanistan. Maybe Al-Q was just provoking the US?"
