From Thinkprogress:
Glenn Greenwald takes note of the increasing propensity of journalists to follow the administration’s lead in describing all Iraqi fighters as al Qaeda:
That the Bush administration, and specifically its military commanders, decided to begin using the term “Al Qaeda” to designate “anyone and everyeone we fight against or kill in Iraq” is obvious. … But what is even more notable is that the establishment press has followed right along, just as enthusiastically. […]
What makes this practice all the more disturbing is how quickly and obediently the media has adopted the change in terms consciously issued by the Bush administration and their military officials responsible for presenting the Bush view of the war to the press.

Facts Sunni and Shiites are at war but the Bush Administration is fixated on Al Qaida. Cheney sleeps and eats Al Qaida. Al Qaida is responsible for Globing Warming. Al Qaida is doing well and on vacation while the Bush still using them as an excuse for his mistakes.
Yes, now Al Qaeda is in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan............etc.
