My first thought on reading the headline was that, yes, indeed, our governments "spin" al Qaeda everyday.
But the intent of this piece of intellectual fluff is quite different.
The unvarnished truth is we don't even know that there even is such an organization.
And if there is one, we don't know that it is anything more than a set of angry, disconnected postings on the Internet.
Meanwhile, the world is full of genuine deadly threats and catastrophes, but countless billions must be spent on a fear-provoking urban myth.
