Thanks for the ping. Great article indeed.
By the way the "Abu Abed" guy that they refer to in the article and who has turned against Al Qaeda terrorists is very much hated on Al Qaeda terrorist forums. They talk about him a lot, they hate him and they fear a lot.
I was talking with a colleague at my office and he being against the war in Iraq, was stating that al Qaeda in Iraq is not the same al Qaeda of Bin Laden. This seems like a lefty talking point to me. Do you have any links on the links?
Thanks,
