So is al Queda one organization with a hierarchy or

a loose group of terrorist individuals and separate organizations or groups? I ask this due to the official story of the mass shooter at Ft. Hood making contact with al Queda. If it is a loose coalition of groups of mujahadeen, is it wrong to state the contact in the terms our news has?

1. Forget that and give more thought to the victims and their families. There's enough overthinking

going on and people are still dying. Sometimes it's a simple as realizing that a group of people are motivated to kill you and yours for reasons you will never understand.

3. I don't think asking about accuracy stops one from thinking of the victims.

2. it's a brand, like "Kentucky Fried Chicken"

except that it was created by the CIA, not by the barely-there, loose confederation it represents.

Giant brand. Tiny not-quite-a-real-gang of criminals.

Our once-proud nation is at "war" with the brand, not with the criminals.

5. Any dishonesty by official channels bothers me for I tend to think

of exploitative moves. I do not like government through misconceptions nor reporting through misconceptions.

7. You do realize all your major media is owned by a handful of conglomerates

at least one of them actually makes the war products directly. All of these conglomerates benefit financially by some means when we go into foreign countries and kill people. They do get together and chat, large groups of these big business owners and C-level people - I type the minutes of their meetings as part of my job. If I found unvarnished honestly in the media I'd probably have a heart attack.

6. Yep, that's the correct answer.

See the link in my sig, if you watch the videos (especially the third one) available for free at that link you'll have a much better idea about the infamous "the base" Keep in mind, the film maker had to bend the truth or pass it over in spots to get it aired on BBC.
