Like beauty, "propaganda" is perhaps in the eye of the beholder. The usual designation I see attached to Thomas Paine is "pamphleteer." I wonder if Ayman Al Zawahiri (the Egyptian optometrist and #2 to Bin laden, I'm sure I butchered the spelling of his name) considers himself now the Thomas Paine of Al Qaeda? Or perhaps Leon Trotsky? I heard that his latest video communique is quite lengthy.
