They really need a chart on who is Mr. Big, who is No. 2, etc. instead of every day “top” man in Iraq was killed, captured, slipped on a banana peal etc.
In Web postings, the Islamic State of Iraq has identified its leader as Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, with al-Masri as minister of war. There are no known photos of al-Baghdadi.
Bergner said al-Mashhadani had told interrogators that al-Baghdadi is a “fictional role” created by al-Masri and that an actor is used for audio recordings of speeches posted on the Web.
“In his words, the Islamic State of Iraq is a front organization that masks the foreign influence and leadership within al-Qaida in Iraq in an attempt to put an Iraqi face on the leadership of al-Qaida in Iraq,” Bergner said
That is hard to do because these “Top Figures” are like chips in a vending machine, as one is taken, another is automatically moved to the front.
Be silent and enjoy the good news.

How do you not get this? The life expectancy of “top” Al Qaida guys gets shorter and shorter.
