Not a problem if AQ programmed it themselves, which has been the point of my posts: the algorithms are not that hard. I teach them to undergrad math, engineering, and CS majors about once every three years. You don’t think AQ has been able to radicalize a few Muslim CS majors? (None from my classes—I’ve not had any Muslim students in them,.)

But if Computer World has it, I'm assuming that means our guys have it, and that brings up all sorts of possibilities. We've also captured some of their laptops in Iraq I'm sure.

IIRC, Al Qaeda means "the base" and that comes from a computer database Bin Laden used to keep track of the organization.
