That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly, but surely being decimated. Right now, about half of all the top al Qaeda operatives are either jailed or dead. In either case, they are not a problem anymore.Dowd quoted: Al Qaeda is on the run. That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly, but surely being decimated. In either case, they are not a problem anymore.Dowd's version makes it sound like Al-Qaeda's not a problem. In fact, it's Al-Qaeda operatives who are dead or jailed who are not a problem, which would seem to be self-evident. Dowd's misquote is the sort of thing that would get any grad student's ass kicked for lousy documentation and flimsy argumentation. But at a paper where you don't even have to leave New York to get a midwest dateline, standards are lower, I guess. (via Instapundit) * * *
