Not necessarily. I don't think Bin Laden or Al Zawahiri have access to a
staff of capable cryptographers and programmers, but thei certainly has
a need for strong encryption, and he can be certain the NSA will do its
best to decrypt any intercepted message.

maybe they can justify 4K keys for everyday use, although anything larger
would attract attention.
even then, how hard is it to get a group of non-geeks, who didn't grow up
with computers, to use pgp? i think they're more likely to use carrier
pigeons than pgp.
