...there is no solid evidence that al-Qaeda has regrouped as a force to be reckoned with. Much of the known old leadership has been killed or captured, bin Laden has been forced into hiding, and at least some of the group's financial resources have dried up. But that may not add up to a decisive blow as al-Qaeda reverts to its roots as a diffuse brand name for the ideology of international Islamic terrorism. Even without direct ties, bin Laden provides the militants' inspiration. Al-Qaeda, says French terrorism expert Roland Jacquard, has become the mentor...

They go on to tout an "impending act" that, they suggest, they won't survive. Intelligence sources tell Jacquard that the four participated in the May bombing. The CD also features a bone-chilling cell-phone call that...
...last very long. Before this there was Laci Peterson, before her it was J. Lo and Ben... according to the Lycos internet service, it took only a year for the top five words searched on the Net to revert from “Nostradamus, World Trade Center, Osama bin Laden, New York City, Terrorism” to “KaZaA, Dragonball, Tattoos, West Nile Virus, Britney Spears.” The Michael Jackson business is a sign, not a shift, of cultural trends. Still, with two years and a bit behind us, the return of popular news culture...
