Oh, PleaseThis Washington Times piece has set off a worldwide flurry of press reports about Al-Qaeda plans to assassinate some high-level politician. The threat might be real -- how do I know? -- but Reuters has done its own reporting and found, horror of horrors, a threat against Bush on a web site:
The sketch of a plot to target US President George W. Bush surfaced on an online magazine of al Qaida's organisation in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
A one-line answer to a Saut al-Jihad reader's query said: "The plan you have drawn up to assassinate Bush is good but would need a lot of preparation."
"Perhaps you can take part in it, if possible, and thanks," the magazine told the reader — named only as Madad — without giving further details. The reader's question was not published.
Give me a break.
