>Al Qaeda is a name that this group choose for themselves.

No, buddy. That is not true.
There is no reference to Bin Laden ever using the term "Al Queda" until after 9/11/2001,
when he learned that this was what the Americans were calling him and his followers.

Will those who benefit financially, and for job security, use the term "Al Queda"? Absolutely.
"Oh yes", they'll say. "And they have high tech undeground bunkers in the caves of Afghanistan!"
Will the Northern Alliance accept money to help you find these complexes in the hills? Absolutely.
Have we ever actually found more than just some natural caves?

First, let's do a simple experiment to find out what Al Queda actually means.
1. Go to the Google Translator to translate from English to Arabic.

2. Type in "the base", click "Read phonetically", then click Translate
3. You will see it literally means "al Qāʻ-dh"

Also, you could also use http://www.farsidic.com/Translate.aspx
Farsi is similar, but displays their strange alphabetic characters, which read right to left.
You'll recognize this symbol on American made documentation about Al Queda.

Wikipedia defines Al-Queda as being founded between 1988 and 1989.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda

Sadly, Wikipedia is domineered by full time propagandists,
info-warriors whose job it is to keep the OCT dominant.
If you put anything contrary, they gang up and revert to what they want.
Wikipedia is seen as the definitive encyclopedia for many people.
They even put an "Al-Queda flag" (designed by who?) there to make it seem like it is a country.

Robin Cook, British Foreign Secretary from 1997 to 2001 (equivalent to our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton), wrote that Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden were "a product of a monumental miscalculation by western security agencies", and that "Al-Qaida, literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of Mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians." - (CIA's "Operation Cyclone")
Source: Cook, Robin (2005-07-08). "The struggle against terrorism cannot be won by military means".

Now think....
You know, as a Computer Guy yourself, the state of computers in 1988.
Why would terrorists call themselves "the database"?
Why not "the sons of Allah" or "Warriors of the hills" or something inspiring like that?
What did Osama say? "Hey guys, let's call ourselves...(drum roll)...The Database!"
Seriously. How geeky!
So, in 1988 the terrorists entered their names on their computers?
There were no laptops then. What, they had Compaq's, the portable IBM PC?
How did they plug them in?
While marching through the hills of Afghanistan with no electricity?
Using what, dBase III?
Or maybe they carried a Macintosh II and used FileMaker?
Think. Who had the big databases and computers at that time?

Pierre-Henry Bunel, a former agent for French Military Intelligence:
"The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money."

Why give a group name to people who don't function as a group?
Why give them a name, to make it sound like they are a worldwide network?
It is much easier to prosecute people when they are said to be a part of a group.

Here is a BBC video about the origins of Al Qaeda, and where the term came from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-hYorNi0nA

This video shows how the Northern Alliance took millions of dollars from the soldiers to show them the secret underground cave complexes. But it turned out there were none. The N.A. also bamboozled them out of money by pointing out supposed Al-Queda leaders, who were actually innocent.

Jason Burke, investigative journalist for The Guardian and The Observer in UK, has written a book on how "there is no group called Al Qaeda"
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Al-Qaeda-True-Story-Radical-Islam/dp/0141019123

Burke wrote an article in The Guardian "Al-Qaeda - a meaningless label"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2003/jan/12/alqaida.terrorism
"Al-Qaeda remains useful as a term to describe bin Laden, his close associates and the infrastructure created in Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001. We now need to recognise that, as that construction has now been effectively demolished, so should the label "al-Qaeda" be jettisoned"
