Apparently al-Qaida opened a website for a limited period of time in which sympathizers could ask questions of the organization. A broad range of questions were asked concerning al-Qaida's intentions and strategies for future attacks. Many sympathizers wanted to know why further attacks had not been made against the U.S., and those claiming to be part of al-Qaida asked for direction for future attacks. The Associated Press isn't certain that the site is legitimate, and they don't know if the claimed sympathizers are actually members of al-Qaida. No answers to the hundreds of questions posed to al-Qaida have been answered. I don't know what to make of the site. It seems a bit hokey. Any comments?

Could you give us a link to the al Qaeda site?
Also, your link to the WaPo article seems to be broken. This one should work, though.
Whether or not it is legitimate it definitely increases the visibility of al-Qaeda (which, by the way, helps them). Also, terrorist group are hardly ever reluctant to get out their message through various forms of media (ie: internet videos and so forth...)
