Is Al Qaeda a fabrication by Washington?

[Jonathan]

I believed from day 1 (9-11) and still do for that matter that the WTC tragedy was plotted by the US themselves.
In my opinion Al Qaeda does exist, or did a fair number of years ago. However I do not believe Al Qaeda to be an \"organisation\" of the size the US leads us to believe. I believe Al Qaeda was once a \"successful\" (if you can call it that way :? :\\ ) terrorist organisation, but that it ceised to exist or was close to extinction even before 2000.
I also believe that in the past many terrorist attacks were the work of the CIA and I don\'t believe that policy has changed.
