Has Al Qaeda become another Bogeyman?
The day after the bombings in Madrid, despite what was apparently a lot of pretty good evidence that ETA were involved, the UK tabloids were all pretty insistant that we consider that Al Qaeda was behind the attack.
It seems that al Qaeda is becoming another Bogeyman: a name to scare children to sleep...be good or al Qaeda will get you...
What good evidence is there that Al Qaeda were involved? None. Nil. Zero.
Yet the media nowadays seems to insist that all acts of terrorism must be blamed first on Al Qaeda, before the evidence is even sifted through.
Let's not create a Bogeyman out of them.
