To be fair it's entirely possible (indeed most probable) that it was posted on an Islamist website, but they should have realised what it actually was and the community from which it came though. I wonder if this reflects their general quality of intelligence, or if they deliberatley presented it like this despite knowing (I'm just speculating about "wilder" explanations here).
Reuters picked up the story as well. Here's a video (and transcript) from a great television program called media watch that recently covered both SAIC's and Reuter's mistake.
