Exhaustive review sponsored by the Pentagon finds NO link between Saddam, al Qaida

DadsDream said
Yes, it is silly that a news reporter and a headline writer took a Pentagon report, written in Pentagon language and interpreted it for the public using the standard English meaning of a key word, rather than the Pentagon meaning of the word.

How is the Pentagon meaning of the word relevant to Al Queda when Al Queda does not operate in one country in division sized units?

What is the relevance of the Pentagon's conventional military terminology to Al Queda?
