 | | GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — A Yemeni poet accused of crafting al-Qaida propaganda admitted Thursday to a U.S. military commission that he is a member of Osama bin Laden's terror network, and he argued to be allowed to represent himself. | | | The Pentagon has accused al Bahlul of being a "key al-Qaida propagandist who produced videos glorifying the murder of Americans to recruit, inspire and motivate other al-Qaida members" to attack the United States and other countries. | | | Brownback ordered the al Bahlul's military-appointed defense lawyers to file a motion addressing structural challenges to the commission and to formally request that higher authority consider whether the Yemeni can represent himself or hire a foreign citizen as his attorney. |

| | Al Qaida is the 21st century's first addition to any list of well-known secret organizations. | | | Marc Sageman asserts that Al Qaida has Egyptian origins, Egyptian ideologies, and Egyptian leaders. | | | This is a complex issue but, putting it very simply, what you have in both cases is loose networks of likeminded individuals-sometimes they pay homage to some patron figure who they may never have met and with whom they have no concrete relationship. |
