Washington Post: Al Qaeda's Top Primed To Collapse, U.S. Says

Washington Post: Al Qaeda's Top Primed To Collapse, U.S. Says

" Because the CIA and FBI are much more familiar than they were a year ago with the organization and individuals involved in al Qaeda, they are more able to put the new leads to use. Also, with a handful of other high-ranking al Qaeda members imprisoned and undergoing CIA interrogation, the information "can be bounced off five other senior guys now anxious to tell us what they know," said one knowledgeable intelligence expert."

I wonder what difference taking bin Laden out of the loop would make? Very little, strategically, just the moral victory for the US. The smaller units that have tried to attack European targets of late have all been self starters from Northern Africa.

As this will be a generational war, taking out bin Laden, will not stop the terrorist threat, it may even make matters worse. There'll be no leadership to track and watch.
