The first seven paragraphs in the piece (including especially: "The "sleepers" managed to penetrate the upper reaches of corporate life and have sent encrypted e-mails back to al Qaida ("the base" in Arabic) to report an impressive string of successes -- Enron, Arthur Andersen, Tyco, Adelphia Communications, ImClone, Qwest Communications International, Dynegy, Global Crossing, WorldCom and Xerox.") are either examples of an absurd disinformation campaign that no one (including especially the author of the piece) believes or are outright fabrications created by the author to set up the analogy he wanted to make.

The rest of the editorial actually contains the author's theme (did you do those "identify the theme in this text" exercises in elementary school?). He did not do a piece on Al Q control of America's major corporations, as you all seem to think.
