Is the current world/USA economic crisis really an elaborate terrorist attach instigated by Al-Qaeda?

Do many of our financial leaders, CEO's, key government Officials and owners of major News Media organizations really belong to Al-Qaeda sleeper cells?

Should individuals deemed responsible be arrested, sent to Guantanamo and subjected to interrogations, tortured and held without trial for years on end until they confession?
Who, based on their behavior/actions should be sent?

While at first glance the idea is ludicrous and perhaps intentionally so (at least I will assume that it is) it isn't an unworthy topic of conversation. Bin Laden, Zawahiri or many of the top theorist of al-Qaeda aren't camel driving hicks from the sands of the Rub' Al Khali, they are educated men who have traveled extensively throughout the world.

The Bin Laden's family controls a world wide conglomerate worth an estimate $5 billion. It should come as no surprise that al-Qaeda is familiar with western finance, nor is bin Laden ignorant of the overall American strategy to bring down the Soviet Union. It may be wild speculation on my part, but by all indications the strategy behind 9/11 was to bait the US into a protracted battle in the middle east, just as the muhajahdeen drew the former Soviet Union into Afghanistan. By backing the war in Iraq, those who supported Bush's ill-thought out strategy in Iraq played right into al-Qaeda's hand.

Do you think Barack Obama will schedule a trip to meet with Al-Qaeda authorities and ask them very nicely to stop the attacks against us?

I was going to suggest that it was the Communists, but then I remembered that it isn't 1952 any more!

Oh man, what a stupid idea!! Are you "f"ing kidding me? Now we are supposed to believe that al-Qaeda--a bunch of terrorists masterminds--are also financial wizards adept at bringing the global economy to its knees. Do you know how paranoid you sound? You should be embarrassed, but you're probably not.

Neoliberalism is what brought on this current crises. It was that and nothing else.

Conspiracy theory as stated is very far fetched. No, I don't agree. However, multiple opportunists took full advantage of the laissez fair candy dish. Some of those opportunists authored the situation, and others strategically placed themselves. Use a corrupted capitalism against America- too poetic.

Want to know the responsible party? Since the birth of this nation it's the same responsible party who's always had to pay the bills in blood and dollars. It's you and it's me. We let them get by on all of it.
