Yet, no evidence is presented that Al-Qaeda is a functioning organization nor that Osama bin Laden is alive. I believe that bin Laden has been long deceased, that what is referred to as Al-Qaeda is little more than a collection of cells which may or more likely not communicate with one another. Perhaps this is one more instance of a scare tactic designed to maintain the President's "war powers", to keep the military/industrial complex in control, and to subjugate the American electorate.

You set the example of courage of conviction, steadfast principles and popularity be damned. If only those so-called journalists, potential whistle-blowers decision-makers would emulate you, this world would be a far better place than it is now.
