"Some radicals make heroes of Tsarnaev brothers; Site urges readers to follow lead of alleged bombers" by Bryan Bender | Globe Staff, July 14, 2013
WASHINGTON — In the dark recesses of radical Islamic websites around the world they are being lionized in a propaganda campaign....

Aren't those sites something?
The latest issue of Al Qaeda’s magazine Inspire is almost entirely dedicated to them, including a chillingly detailed case study....
Apparently they INSPIRE a lot of people.
The glossy English-language publication....
In another example, a Facebook group features slogans like “Islam will conquer the world” and depicts a black fist etched with Muslim declarations of faith busting through an American flag. The group has nearly 1,000 followers.
Well, tell the NSA to tell the FBI to go get 'em!
What you are seeing here, dear readers, is the outing of this intelligence operation called Islamic extremism. It's allowed to exist because the people behind the terrorists -- you know, those who are spying on us to protect us and keep us safe even as they create, fund, and direct them with the instigating informants -- allow it to exist and thrive for the obvious reasons.
“There have been heaps of praise loaded on the Tsarnaevs,” said Evan Kohlmann, founder of Flashpoint Partners, a consulting firm that tracks terrorist groups.
A lead propagandist who would be out of a job if this river didn't flow.
The elevation of the Tsarnaevs to hero status by radical groups dedicated to fomenting terror is unrelated to the efforts of the conspiracy theorists who demonstrated outside the federal courthouse in Boston during Dzhokhar’s arraignment last week, where he pleaded not guilty to 30 terror charges.

Those protesters insisted that the Tsarnaev brothers did nothing wrong and were framed by the government. But even some of them bristled at the suggestion that violence is justified by Islam.
Yes, please don't lump in truth-tellers with the CIA-Duh crowd.
Al Qaeda and other international militant groups, on the other hand, applaud on their websites the bombing and its devastating toll....
That's how you can tell it's an intelligence operation with agents provocateur assets.
Many of the radical websites are well known to US counterterrorism officials who have sought to shut some of them down, either by urging Internet service providers to take them offline, or by hacking them. But they are also considered a key intelligence tool in trying to unravel possible terrorist plots.
Or in pushing propaganda. This is really rank, folks, and I hope you don't mind me not wanting to waste time on this s*** sewage the Globe is spewing forth today.
There has been no suggestion that the Tsarnaevs were under any operational control of Al Qaeda. But the group’s adoption of the brothers in the wake of the attacks comes as little surprise to terrorism experts, who say the group takes pride in being the inspiration for violence by unaffiliated Muslims.
“What the brothers have done conforms to a long Al Qaeda strategy,” said Bruce Hoffman, director of the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University. For more than a decade, he said, Al Qaeda leaders have told sympathizers “you have the power in your own country to further the cause.”
Tamerlan and Dzhokhar allegedly used information published in an earlier issue of Al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine to fashion the pressure-cooker bombs used in the Marathon attacks....
The younger Tsarnaev also is reported to have been inspired by the book “In Defense of Muslim Lands” written by Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, a Palestinian theologian who was a mentor to Al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden.
Peter Bergen, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation who has written several books about Al Qaeda, says the group can legitimately claim some credit for the Boston bombings even if it did not have any direct role.
“The best kind of success is when you don’t have to do anything,” he said. “You present a course of action and people act on it.”
Like fomenting protests against Zimmerman.
The Al Qaeda magazine that extols the brothers cannot easily be mistaken for a factual publication; in one news alert it claims America “exploits children under the age of 10 to plant chips on those who oppose their policies for unmanned drones.” Kohlmann likens its readership to “jihadi tabloid morons.”
But mixing fact and fiction can make for effective propaganda.

Is that ever the propaganda pot-hollering kettle or what?
For example....
Why even bother?
Terrorism researchers say the transformation of the Boston bombers into the vanguard of Al Qaeda strategy against the United States is a deeply worrisome development.
“We see a shift in Al Qaeda to get a grasp on people that are already here and this is how they are going to do it,” said Craig Albert, a political science professor at Georgia Regents University. “It is terrifying.”
I'm exhausted.
But Bergen, who interviewed bin Laden before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, stressed that none of it means the brothers should be seen as having acted at the behest of Al Qaeda.
In fact, he said by claiming after-the-fact ownership of their activities, Al Qaeda is revealing how its own operational capabilities have declined....
