Idahomey,
I checked this site out it is a typical news site and does cover a large portion of issues concerning the people today. I seen no sight of it being an Al Quaeda recruiting site, however I did notice they did ask for donations or contributions. More that likely they do not have any sponsors or advertising and they count on their members. The problem with this is if you become a member and the web site shuts down after you make a contribution you come out the loser in the end. It does have some legitimate news sites, like NY Times Washington Post, AP, and many others. I myself would not pay to get this information you alredy can get free. You may end up with a lot of junk mail too.
