I'd be very surprised if there isn't some sort of line of communication
open to the leadership of AQ, however convoluted. That is what I pay
(figuratively) our intelligence services to do!!

Big scandal here in the UK that the intelligence services were in
contact with the leadership of the IRA and Provisionals "how can one
talk with terrorists" blah blah blah. My response was the same there -
Grow up! I should bloody well hope that someone from MI5 or MI6 was
trying to talk to them, that's what one of their jobs IS!! 

Doesn't mean to say that the communications are going to be of any
practical use, though...
