Yeah, your posts aren't coming out for awhile ... Anyhoo, yeah, I agree. I'd even go so far as to say that 90% of Al Quaeda's operational capacity is gone. However if you're trying to imply that what's left is known to be limited to small cells, then I'm going to have to disagree. The US (or anybody) simply doesn't have the intelligence to know that. Further, as you pointed out, many of the cells are self-directed if not even self-started. So the correct answer would be that nobody, even Al Quaeda, knows how strong AQ is, what their capacity is, or what their next target is. Further, it only makes sense that for every one "agent" there are 5, 10, or even 20 support staff. That doesn't mean that those support staff signed a 2 year contract - they might not even know they're supporting AQ. But they exist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:213072 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
