"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." --Bishop Desmond Tutu

Is McCain Al-Qaeda's candidate?

Richard Clarke thinks so. In an editorial in US News & World Report, Clarke outlines some of the reasons why Al-Qaeda might not want a popular US President like Obama in the White House.
Those who see the two attacks as the opening round of a pre-election campaign note that they were the first two major al Qaeda-related attacks on American facilities in a very long time, the first serious al Qaeda attack on an American embassy in a decade. Others believe that the timing of the two attacks was coincidence and that they were both dictated by internal dynamics in the countries where the attacks took place and not by the U.S. election campaign. Nonetheless, U.S. intelligence and security officials are worried.

At the very least, expect another Halloween video from the scary man in the cave.
