Bin Laden, Brought to You by...
Joby Warrick writes in The Washington Post:
Early yesterday morning, a South Carolina Web designer who works at home managed to scoop al-Qaeda by publicly unveiling its new video, a feat she has accomplished numerous times since 2002. Within hours, cable news stations were broadcasting images of Osama bin Laden commemorating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and crediting the 50-year-old woman, who uses the pseudonym Laura Mansfield.More here.
A similar event occurred on Friday, when another group beat al-Qaeda by nearly a full day with the release of the first video images of bin Laden to appear publicly since 2004. That group, known as the SITE Institute, provided the tape to government agencies and news organizations, at a time when many well-known jihadist Web sites were literally silenced, shut down in a powerful cyberattack by unknown hackers.
