Ah yest the whole Al Qaeda is a CIA name meaning the database.

I recall pointing out the same thing you just did a while back in thread that mentioned Al Qaeda and what it really means according to the conspiracy folks.Some people just do not get it I recon.

I suppose I could also add that Al Qaeda, when used as a pronoun in Arabic more closely translates to "the basis or the base(of an idea or belief.... the foundation).

Al means "the" or "of" in Arabic. For example the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade means (followers) "of the Al-Aqusa mosque".

I am no expert in Arabic but my uncle spent many years snooping in on Arabic military radio networks the ones allied with the Soviets during the Cold War and he speaks Arabic fluently.
