Yes, our great friends in the AP have uncovered a secret plan by Al Qaeda!  As the AP reports:

Terrorists also have made only infrequent use of stenography, the practice of hiding a text message in another kind of file, typically a picture, Reigel said. "It looks like a picture, but if you have the right program, you can extract a text message embedded in a picture," said Reigel, a 31-year FBI veteran who formerly led the New Orleans field office.

Now we know!  They are going to bring down the governments of the west, but they have to spare the secretaries so they can take stenography notes!

Perhaps the AP needs a few more proof readers.  Then they might realize it is steganography, not stenography!
