"I do wonder if it's in fact the case that al-Qa'eda has really reconstituted itself to a pre-9/11 capability, and in fact I would say I seriously doubt that. Their top-level leadership is still out there, but they're not communicating and they're not moving around. I think they're symbolic more than operationally effective." -Ryan Crocker, US ambassador in Baghdad and former ambassador in Islamabad


I think killing or capturing Bin-Laden - PUBLICLY - would have horrible repercussions. We need to kill the dude, and never talk about it, which means you and I wouldn't know that it had happened.
