AQI’s has indeed been responsible for horrible attacks in Iraq. However, there has been a systematic effort by the White House to exaggerate AQI’s strength as well as to conflate AQI with Bin Laden.

“Vaguely al Qaeda-like” and “Al-Qaeda” are two separate things.

And please give me a link to a New York Times story about AQI’s roots that does not acknowledge the group’s foreign-born operatives, or the late Abu Musab Zarqawi’s Jordanian birth. I’d be curious to see it.

“any evident ties to al-Qaeda”

aside from the whoe suicide bomber in iraq thing, which generally leads one to suspect that they may have some ties to al qaeda in mesopotamia, a foreign-led terrorist organization which the new york times claims is a homegrown sunni extremist group.
