Perhaps it MIGHT be wise to take the sharp perceptiveness in for a checkup. The ALL CAPS are NOT random.

What Evilbat said, plus the fact that absolutely zero evidence has been produced for their being AQ in Iraq in 1991 conducting kidnappings and murders.
I'm still waiting on that, by the way. Other posters attempted to sidetrack that very issue, but at the end of the day, have still produced naff all evidence of it taking place in the early 90's.

The point is not that AQ would or would not do it, but this story is bogus because AQ was NOT operating in Iraq in 1991.
Hence why you brought up sectarian violence as a whole in Iraq, claiming it was going on, when it clearly wasn't.
During Saddams rule, which was very secular, he kept a lid on it and sectarian violence was unheard of. It's only since the invasion that sectarian violence in Iraq has flared.
I have seen dozens of Iraqis who all say the same thing. Read the blogs coming out of Baghdad, check the figures, read history.
I tried to show you, but you chose to just ignore me and shout "WRONG WRONG WRONG" all the freeking time...
If I am wrong, show me. Don't just say so. Not the best way to "own me" as you claimed, is it?

When I read a news article I say to myself
* What are the positives and negatives?
* Is it fair and balanced, or bias?
* Are all viewpoints represented?
* Does the story come from more then one source, if not why?
The point is not that AQ would or would not do it, but this story is bogus because AQ was NOT operating in Iraq in 1991.

I forgot a cautionary concern for you. I strongly encourage you to retune your assumption apparatus. IF your assumptions about the world and reality at large are as chronically wrong as your assumptions about me are . . . it could spell a lot more trouble for you in the future than I'd wish on my worst enemy. Things are likely to get more complicated and confusing instead of less. That would make such an assumption pattern all the more problematic.
None of the arguments to the contrary have given me the slightest pause or hesitation in believing the story.

Appeals to "fair and balanced" will ring exceedingly hollow when they come for your child for the bakery.

This makes absolutely no sense to me.
I don't need your cautionary concern, and I certainly don't need to be talked down to or patronised.
I'd hate to live in a world seen from your perspective. It really must be a truly terrifying place for you - and other people who see things your way - to be in.
