America's illegal propaganda?

Doubts continue to mount as to the authenticity of a July 9 dated letter, purportedly released from an al Qaeda leader to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi an Iraqi insurgency leader. American intelligence officials cannot explain the passages that lend credence to questions regarding whether the letter is an effort to bolster public opinion on Iraq.

Dissemination of covert propaganda by the government to the American people is a crime. Of course, this a pattern for the Bushies and Republicans.

Reuters has also reported that al Qaeda says it is a fake.
