We were told these leaders were living in caves without electricity, cut off, and unable to command.
Ops! Was that a lie? Doesn't matter.
In the news today, analysts note that al-Qaida leaders can respond to world events with video and taped statements faster than before 9/11.
How about those benchmarks on progress in Iraq being a keystone in the "War on Terror?"
Details from the Associated Press.
Analysts and intelligence experts say the speed and frequency with which Ayman al-Zawahri has been issuing statements recently does not reflect the actions of a man cowering in a remote cave, cut off from the outside world and unable to direct terror operations.
If anything, the video and audio tapes offer chilling evidence that al-Qaida's leaders are in greater command than previously feared.
