Al Qaeda 2.0


A friend yesterday sent me this picture. I thought I immediately understood why.

Al Qaeda is a community, very active online, they collaborate in cells, and enable their members to do the things that they think are worthwile.

But the tag "Al Qaeda 2.0" is pre-O'Reilly. Discovery produced and aired this documentary in 2003:

"Since Afghanistan, al Qaeda has reinvented itself as a high-tech, highly mobile, decentralized terror network—call it "al Qaeda version 2.0." Covering the period from 9/11 to the start of Gulf War II, this program tracks al Qaeda and its allies from London, where their Internet traffic is monitored, to recent operational areas [...]."
