The swiftness with which the media blamed “Al-Qaeda” was staggering, especially considering the fact that the attacks had not even concluded before the boogeyman was whipped out of the closet once more to act as a poster child for the war on terror and allow the TV networks to show lots of blood, panic and authority figures pointing guns at people.

I get so frustrated... most "Sheeple" pay lip service to the idea of not trusting the MSM, but as soon as I try to show them a non-mainstream or foreign news source, they spout off with "But that's an unverified/biased/speculative source!"
Police insist that Kasab confessed to being a member of the Pakistani terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which has denied involvement in the carnage, and claimed he and the others were trained in the Muslim country.
The Indian Mujahideen -- a front group for the Lashkar-e-Taiba, the Harkat ul Jihad al Islami, and the Students Islamic Movement of India -- claimed responsibility for the attack. The Indian Mujahideen has been behind several mass-casualty terror attacks in India over the past two years.
Lashkar-e-Taiba has an extensive network in southern and Southeast Asia. A senior US military intelligence official described the group as "al Qaeda junior," as it has vast resources, an extensive network, and is able to carry out complex attacks throughout its area of operations. "If by some stroke of luck al Qaeda collapsed, LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba) could step in and essentially take its place."
The relationship between al Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taiba is complex, the official noted. "While Lashkar-e-Taiba is definitely subordinate to al Qaeda in many ways, it runs its own network and has its own command structure. The groups often train in each others' camps, and fight side by side in Afghanistan."
Lashkar-e-Taiba and Al Qaeda have shared training camps in Pakistan, though no evidence has been revealed so far of any Al Qaeda involvement in the attacks in Mumbai.
And I have yet to see any MSM claiming that AlQuaida was involved.
Lashkar-e-Taiba also has connections al-Qaeda and the Taliban and the attacks on Western targets, and particularly the attempts by the militants to single out hotel guests with British and American passports, have encouraged the suggestion that there may have been al-Qaeda involvement.
Even Fox news is giving credit to Lashkar-e-Tabia - not AQ.

i think there is now a clear majority of people who believe 911 and other terrorist attacks have been masterminded by USA and UK themselves.

Within a span of 70 minutes 21 bombs were detonated.When did this happen? July of this year.
So where was the media coverage then? Where was the media coverage of the countless other attacks on India?

You are right.
In fact the majority of people on this planet, many of whom can barely speak English, probably hardly even know or care what they are.
They are to busy verbing peoples nouns.

Just look at a map of the entire area - if the west become involved in any kind of war with Pakistan then they'll have Iran sitting right in the middle.
