Reply #16: it's not al qaeda's style... [View All]

they do things on a far more larger scale than making some snuff film and then passing it on to a website IMHO. they attack symbollically, not individually. what would be the symbolism behind killing berg? An american at the wrong place at the wrong time killed in retalliation for iraq prisoners being mistreated? On the surface it seems feasible, but al qaeda does things for (what they consider) a greater cause than human rights. they want the israelis out of palestine, the americans out of iraq, afghanistan and saudi arabia. i'm sure the list is far longer than that.

i believe that al qaeda realizes that it is far more effective when it's not tangible, but a dark, shadowy presence. what these people did in the video was assign a face to al qaeda, which seems to be the opposite of what al qaeda, IMHO, is wanting to do.
