I believe Al Qaeda wasn’t too sad that Bin Laden was taken out....he was only the poster child....not the brains.

Omar......he’s the brains and poster child and I don’t think they will ever admit if he has already or when ever he may be killed.

It would be too damaging to the organization.

Very true.

Right now I'm reading Mastermind-an amazing book by Richard Miniter-which chronicles the life of Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

It seems like he was responsible for ninety percent of the Al Qaeda terror plots that actually came to fruition

I think Bin Laden would remained an isolated, takfiri crackpot in the Jalalabad mountains-according to Lawrence Wright that's what he was at the time-without KSM's expertise.
