Al Qaeda seems to be generating a lot of news today. The Telegraph reports Al Qaeda’s propaganda wing has blamed technical difficulties for their recent silence. Those difficulties don’t, apparently, affect all Al Qaeda members, as the AP reports that some of its terrorists announced on the web today that they were endorsing John McCain. “Al-Qaeda will have to Support McCain in the coming elections,” the messages said, “so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush.” Meanwhile, Marc Ambinder flags a conference call hosted by McCain adviser Randy Scheunemann this morning “to discuss recent news stories about which candidate terrorists would like to see in the White House in 2009.” We take it that he hadn’t seen the AP story yet.
