Terrorist attack in Spain. Wowza. Amusing about an otherwise grim situation is the claim of newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi that an al-Quaida-related organization was behind the attack. This makes me entertain interesting thoughts as to the crucial role of the media in the proliferation of terrorism. Would there have been an Osama bin Laden as we know him today without al-Jazeera? It is debatable.
