And what we think of as a terrorist they might think of as a freedom fighter....who is Obama to judge such people???

Where is your righteous indignation at this abuse of other nations sovereignty????

LOL....it is quite funny really how everything is different now that Obama is in charge.

As to the OP,I would think it is quite possible that this AQ cell was experimenting with a biological weapon...

People, wake-up. It's only a matter of time WHEN we will be attacked again. During Obama's watch, let us hope he doesn't waiver against the threat of fundamental Islamic terrorism.
This has been happening under Bush's watch. Obama just took the office. Where've you been?

Dumb-dumb, the point is what will be Obama's terrorism fighting tactics? Will he be less aggressive and more passive, therefore causing a terrorist attack to TAKE PLACE again on US soil? Remember, since 9/11, Bush has kept our country safe since then.

Obama is closing Gitmo and will not use water boarding to extract information in order to save U.S. lives.

Dumb-dumb? Make it dumb-dumb-dumb if it helps you make a point.

Al Qaeda has been at work under Bush's watch. You don't want to accept it, do you? Here's a typical neocon rhetoric:
Depression? Blame it on FDR (Hoover, who?)
Recovery: It was all WWII
Recession (1982): Blame it on Carter (Reagan in office for a year)
Recession (1989): Blame it on Carter (or, is it Clinton)
WTC Bombing: Blame it on Clinton
9-11: Blame it on Clinton
Recession (2001): Blame it on Clinton
Recession (2007-2008): Blame it on Obama.
AQ at work: Blame it on Obama.

Did I miss something?

I heard a theory that [tinfoil hat on] these 40 guys might have been guinea pigs unknowingly infected by a larger operation to test the effectiveness of this illness as a bio weapon.

Having passed the test, the disease is passed on to carriers (whether via fleas or as a contagion in their own bodies), and brought to a place where many people are packed tightly togetherl. A week or two later, the disease suddenly crops up in various areas of the country and spreads from there.

An incomplete theory, granted. But just another possibility of what might have been going on at this camp and why those 40 died...

[/hat off]

I don't think Algeria was on the list Rumsfeld-Cheney had prepared for him when he took office, as "the potentials". The list included Iraq (happened), Iran (almost there, likely curtailed by "surprise" in Afghanistan and failures in Iraq) and Syria.

But if Algeria had made it, I ask, why not Saudi Arabia?

Plague is a very communicable disease. This may have just been a natural outbreak in an isolated population of camel herders (discription - not insult). IIRC there are anti biotics that can cure the disease if administered in time.
