somewhere in afghanistan, pakistan and from there are plotting and planning to carry out attacks against the united states and others. that s the definition used by this administration, and when they talk about affiliates, very loosely-aligned groups that share some of the same goals of al-qaeda but not all of them. sometimes listen to what the al-qaeda core says, sometimes don t and have their own agendas, usually local. they want to overthrow the local guy, replace him with their type of leadership, impose their vision of a very extremist sharia on unwilling muslims. so that s the definition that s useed by this administration. my definition of al-qaeda is actually based primarily on their self-definition; that is, the way al-qaeda itself defines itself. corrected and also adjusted and with a little bit of skepticism by looking at what s going on in the real world. so how does al-qaeda define itself? it defines itself as an organization and an ideology. an organization that
