Several years ago, a BBC journalist created a documentary titled "Al Qaeda Does Not Exist." There are other videos with a similar name, but this is the BBC one.

BBC aired it in the UK, but then quickly backed away from it and scrubbed it from the internet. But from time to time, someone posts a clip of it. It is currently online.

Watch it while you can. It explains how the US government created the idea of Al Qaeda.

Besides this video, I also remember reading about Robin Cook. He was a UK intel guy who said that "Al Qaeda" was not an organization of people, but rather was a term used to describe a computer database.

"Al Qaeda" in Arabic means "the Base." This was slang used to refer to a computer database in Saudi Arabia. At the time, it was a very sophisticated computer, and was used to keep the names and contact info of black op assets (mercenaries, black market weapons dealers, drug dealers, etc.).

It was never an organized terrorist group.
