The 7/2005 letter from al-Zawahiri (Osama bin Laden's #2 in Al Qaeda), to Zarqawi, the head of al Qaeda in Iraq. Amongst the religious rhetoric, it lays out goals, strategy, and suggestions for PR (like "slaughtering hostages in public is probably not going to bring the public to your side").

Interesting reading.

It's now being called fake.

Oh and by *such* a credible source, too. ;)

Why are they any less credible than the White House?

Haven't we already had this discussion, about the difference between Al Qaeda and the U.S. Government? Oversight, checks and balances, public debate, etc.? The White House has multiple corroborating sources (such as the Pentagon and the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence), and if any one of them showed up as dubious, many news sites would be all over it. The purported Iraqi Al Qaeda site may well just be one guy with access to the net. It's not authenticated by anybody.
