National Review on The New York Times' Al Qaeda is Back Banner Headline ...
Below you will find an interesting article that calls the New York Times out on the mat for its biased coverage on the war on terror. Last Sunday the Times led page one with a story painting a highly inaccurate picture on the current status of Al Qaeda. This site called them on it the minute we saw it. Today's article in the Review details how the New York Times is bending and distorting facts to push their own agenda.
Al Qaeda is Back? Let's go to the videotape.
By James S. Robbins
Periodically I give a seminar as part of a government course for counter terrorism analysts. The general topic for that segment is assessing the War on Terrorism, and I am billed as “The Optimist.” The organizers tell me they like to bring me in because I am provocative. That has always surprised me, because I never thought telling people they are doing a good job keeping the enemy at bay was particularly controversial. But you’d be surprised, as I am time and again, at the level of skepticism I run into. It is the same point of view reflected in the piece in Monday’s New York Times, based on intelligence-community sources, that says Al Qaeda is reconstituting. Their command and control is robust. They are running training camps. They are on the way back. Seems like five years into the war and we have nothing to show for it.
