Reply #7: On CNN's "In the Money" show this weekend...

...they were interviewing an NPR correspondent about, and I kid you not, "who is Al Qaeda's favorite to win the presidential election?" The NPR correspondent (whose name escapes me now) said that she has people who "monitor Islamic message boards" and "the chatter" gleaned from the message boards indicates that Al Qaeda favors Bush because he's been best for recruitment. Unfortunately, she failed to name any of the message boards, but her conclusion doesn't seem to fit into any sort of psy-op profile (which would probably wish to conclude that Al Qaeda would be better served by a Kerry victory), so I would assume her claim of the existence of such boards is valid.
