Ah shit I hate hearing this. Is it possible to retroactively re-cast a "terrorist" attack (eg, World Trade Center) into regular old, 'valid' warfare? Bush policies seem to be doing this.
We are freedom fighters. They are terrorists. Any questions?
Meanwhile, it seems Al Qaeda has offered some kind of bizarre 'treaty" to the Europeans while hardening their stance on the US. SOunds like there
getting smarter...
What is bizarre about offering a contract? "Get your filthy hands off my desert xor suffer for not doing same" The US said the same (with a more temperate piece of real estate) to the UK, once. Apparently some need to be reminded that gentlemen don't occupy other countries. There are comments in the oral contract which remind the populace that they suffer for the behavior of their "leaders". Its all very obvious. Osama, bless his naif little heart, even credits the populace with being rational, and with controlling the leaders. Obviously he's not paid close enough attention, but reception is poor in the hills. Maybe he thinks Spain's sensitivity is typical. Maybe the weeks leading up to the next US Election will be extra fun. Good luck getting any reasonable discussion about the truce in this country. There's also a PR value to other Moslems in offering a truce. And the morality of warning before acting. Maybe some stego value too, but that would be paranoid.
