Al-Qaeda or Al-Qaida (Arabic: القاعدة , translit: al-Qā`idah; "the foundation", "the base" or "the database") is an armed Sunni lslamist organization with the stated objective of eliminating foreign influence in Muslim countries. The most prominent members of the group are adherents of Wahabism, an extreme, militant sect of Islam. While Osama bin Laden is generally recognized as the group's leader, it is theorized that the group's operations are not centralized, and many independent and collaborative cells may exist in multiple countries linked by a common cause. There is no concrete proof of this assumption but it may be valid.
Moazzam Begg, while held in extrajudicial detention in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camps, requested a definition of al-Qaeda, when he was presented with a "Summary of Evidence" against him, in preparation for his Combatant Status Review Tribunal, which accused him of being a member of al-Qaeda, or the Taliban, or associated forces.[12] The unclassified definition offered to Begg by the US Department of Defense was:
"Al Qaeda is a radical Sunni Muslim umbrella organization established to recruit young Muslims into the Afghani Mujahideen and is aimed to establish Islamist states throughout the world, overthrow ‘un-Islamic regimes’, expel US soldiers and Western influence from the Gulf, and capture Jerusalem as a Muslim city."
Begg also asked for, and was not provided with, a definition of al-Qaeda's "associated forces".
Depending on the particular definition of Al-Qaeda... I believe Osama Bin Laden and Al-Zawahiri in the honor of Sayyid Qutb's ideology did play a major role in the September 11 attacks. Do I think the Taliban was involved? Probably not. The Pakistan government? Maybe. Iran? Doubt it. Syria? Doubt it. Palestinian Authority? Doubt it. The entire muslim world? Absolutely not. The entire arab world? Absolutely not.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire0 -

okay, so now you admit that our government is capable of this type of stuff. History has proven this over and over again.
yet you can't admit that this administration is also capable?those undecided, needn't have faith to be free0 -

capable or actually believing the administration had something to do with it?
based on the northwoods report,something that happened 50 years ago, capable? maybe. but 9/11 is alot different then the suggested attacks in the northwoods report.
bush administration have something to do with 9/11? absolutely 110% no.0 -

Bush had a lot to do with 9/11
He allowed it to happen first of all.
After it happened it was used for his political gain.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

lets not play the blame game. I believe it was Clinton admitting he also made mistakes in catching him.
was it bush's fault clinton allowed OBL a base of operations in afgahistan? even after being attacked in africa? dont go there. both presidents have fucked up.
and what I meant by bush not being responsible for 9/11.....meaning he and his buddies didnt sit in a room and plan out 9/11. like you and a few others here believe0 -

They planned out the events that took place post-9/11 and are still taking place in september of 2000.
Clinton provided Osama with a base in afghanistan? Would the afghan government have to support it? I though Bin Laden was part of afghan's resistance to soviet occupation well before Clinton's administration.
Clinton admitted to making mistakes. However, Bush did absolutely nothing to catch Bin Laden until 9/11. At least Clinton tried to stop him.I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny.

if that were the only instance, i'd say you might be right. but our gvt has a history of making shit up for their benifit.
i admire your sticking to your guns on this, but we will just keep going around in circles if you fail to accept the possibility that certain people (not the whole gvt) had anything to do with 9/11. if you will not even examine the facts with an open mind, then what is the poitn here?those undecided, needn't have faith to be free0 -

and there you go again insinuating that I am saying Bush had something to do with 9/11. I believe it took key members of PNAC, as well as highly placed people in the intelligence community (see the Colleen Rowley story) to pull this off.those undecided, needn't have faith to be free0 -

you have no opinion on those things? you think that was actually osama bin laden in that video? i guess he had a few celebratory big macs and forgot he was lefty that day. i'm just curious about your opinion since you're so convinced that it was "al qaeda" and only "al qaeda".
no arabs on the passenger lists.. odd, no?i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam0 -
