Dear Reader,
In a stunning report leaked to openDemocracy, a consultancy firm has
advised al-Qaida that Osama bin Laden should allow himself to be
captured by the US.
Asked by al-Qaida's senior management to carry out an independent
analysis of their campaign, consultants at SWISH (South Waziristan
Institute of Strategic hermeneutics) claim that an 'incompetent' Bush
administration actually benefits al-Qaida, and recommend that al-Qaida
consider short-term tactics designed to aid the Bush campaign. They
suggest that "although the martyrdom factor should not be
underestimated," the detention or capture of Osama bin Laden could
help greatly, "especially if this could be arranged within a month or
so of the US election."
Other findings from this report include:
the key factors that have aided al-Qaida's recent progress details of
the poor decisions by the US that have inadvertently benefited
al-Qaida's cause
five actions that, if carried out by the west, would present 'a
serious threat to the integrity and viability of the al-Qaida
strategy'
The report concludes: "the future looks bright. Any actions that you
can take to ensure that your opponents continue with their current
policies will be to your advantage"
