Ya gotta love the Al-Qaeda denial of the Zawahiri-Zarqawi
letter. They say that it is the product of the imagination of the
"Black House and their slaves." This communique certainly has all
the earmarks of the favored literary style in those parts, what we
Americans usually abandon after the 7th Grade: "Your Mama wears
combat boots."
Black House, hahaha. White House, Black House, get it?
The BBC says that neither the original letter nor the denial can
be confirmed. In other words, the word of the U.S. Department of
Defense is considered of equal trustworthiness as the word of the
Arab kid with the walleye -- who brings in a note and says that the
man handed him a dinar and told him to deliver the Al Qaeda denial
to the BBC reporter getting sozzled at the hotel bar somewhere on
the quieter side of Baghdad.
