If their purpose was to focus on "Al-Qaeda", then the computer they had must have specialized in "Terrorism" or "Al-Qaeda". That means if they came across something that involved Condoleeza Rice, then logically, Condoleeza Rice has connections to "Terrorism" or "Al-Qaeda".
It doesn't say anything about a "super-computer" that did the tracking, it says cyber-sleuths. Either way it's not like the terrorists walk around with computer strings that yell "Al Qaeda" these people had to do leg work and cross referencing, and a politician that is in the oil business would have lots of important ties that could get their names included in a list of Middle Easterners.
