Is Al Qaeda a fabrication by Washington?

[shift]

Yes, Smithcraft, I wasn\'t thinking about your post when I wrote that.

Anyway, the title of this thread is the title of the news post that I used as the source, as I usually do when posting news from other sites. Probably the title wasn\'t the best choice but, basically, this BBC documentary is (among other things) about the possibility that Al Qaeda isn\'t the kind of organization we all think. Anyway I tried to be more explicit in the poll\'s question.

I know watching the documentaries is quite an effort, having to download all three episodes and having the time to watch them (they\'re about 1 hour each). That\'s why I made that clarification. At least that\'ll give some more info about the documentary content.
