"John McCain isn't boasting about a new endorsement, one of the very, very few he has received from overseas," writes Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times:
It came a few days ago:
"Al Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election," read a commentary on a password-protected Islamist Web site that is closely linked to Al Qaeda and often disseminates the group's propaganda.
Some McCain supporters are skeptical of this endorsement's authenticity, but we are not. After all, Kristof works for the New York Times, not some fly-by-night outfit like CBS News. If he reports that al Qaeda endorsed McCain, we have confidence that he knows it to be true. Which does raise one question:
Why did al Qaeda give Nick Kristof the password to its Web site?
