How America Is Feathering Her Enemies' Arrows - The Case of Ali Al-Timimi
"The shaft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle's own plumes", wrote Aesop of the eagle shot with the archer's arrow. "We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction." Like so many of Aesop's fables, the fable of the eagle and the arrow speaks of a timeless truism: that occasionally we become the unknowing tools of our own destruction. It was true on September 11 when Bin Laden - a one time US functionary in the Cold War - turned the airplanes of Western industry against the twin towers of American capitalism. It is true in the manner in which the Bush Administration is now fighting the "ideological front" of its War on Terror.

COVID-19 / Coronavirus / SARS-CoV-2
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. The disease has since spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in misinformation and conspiracy theories about the scale of the pandemic and the origin, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. False information, including intentional disinformation, has been spread through social media, text messaging, and mass media. Journalists have been arrested for allegedly spreading fake news about the pandemic. False information has also been propagated by celebrities, politicians, and other prominent public figures.

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or the Islamic State of Iraq and Ash-Sham, Islamic State (IS), or Daesh, is a self-proclaimed Islamic state and caliphate. The group is known in Arabic as Ad-Dawlah al-Islamiyyah fī'l-'Iraq wa'sh-Sham, leading to the acronym Da'ish or Daesh, the Arabic equivalent of "ISIL". On 29 June 2014, the group proclaimed itself to be a worldwide caliphate, with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi being named its caliph, and renamed itself Ad-Dawlah al-Islamiyyah ("Islamic State" (IS)). As a caliphate, it claims religious, political and military authority over all Muslims worldwide, and that "the legality of all emirates, groups, states, and organisations, becomes null by the expansion of the khilafah's [caliphate's] authority and arrival of its troops to their areas."
