I ran across an article on the Huffington Post written by an AP associate. I have noticed that some AP reporters take quite a few liberties in their press releases that can completely change the meaning of the message. This particular report was regarding al-Qaeda's call for Holy War (her words). The writer makes changes to the original translation, i.e.

"until Islam reigns from Spain to Iraq" actually states "will last until religion prevails ... from Spain to Iraq,"

"al-Qaida now views "all the world as a battlefield open in front of us." Actually states "The entire world is an open battlefield for us and since they are attacking us everywhere, we will attack everywhere."

Once again quotes "It is a jihad (holy war) for the sake of God and will last until (our) religion prevails ... from Spain to Iraq," al-Zawahri said." But takes liberties by putting OUR in parentheses when it was not in the translation and also adds Holy War instead of jihad. According Wikipedia a holy war is a religious war but jihad is a physical or military struggle.

Here's the original translation.  

In a taped message broadcast on Aljazeera, Ayman al-Zawahiri said al-Qaeda would not stand by while "these shells burn our brothers" in Lebanon and Gaza.
He called on Muslims to join forces and fight what he called the "Zionist-crusader war" against Muslim nations.

"Oh Muslims everywhere, I call on you to fight and become martyrs in the war against the Zionists and the crusaders," the Egyptian born former doctor said.
"The war with Israel does not depend on ceasefires... It is a jihad for God's sake and will last until religion prevails ... from Spain to Iraq," al-Zawahiri said.
Open battlefield

"The entire world is an open battlefield for us and since they are attacking us everywhere, we will attack everywhere."

The deputy to Osama bin Laden wore a grey robe and white turban during the statement. A picture of the World Trade Centre on fire was on the wall behind him along with pictures of two fighters.
"The shells and rockets ripping apart Muslim bodies in Gaza and Lebanon are not only Israeli, but are supplied by all the countries of the crusader coalition. Therefore, every participant in the crime will pay the price," al-Zawahiri said.
He also suggested that the world cared more about Israelis than Palestinians.

"The 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel's prisons do not move anything while three Israeli prisoners have shaken the world," he said.
The statement was the first from al-Qaeda to comment on Israel's offensive in Lebanon which began after the capture of two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid by Hezbollah

So, is the AP part of the corporate embedded MSM?
