Leah Farrell's comment:Nothing like an Australian to ask painful questions. For those not familiar with Leah's background:http://allthingscounterterrorism.com/about/By my count AQ core has resurrected itself three times--each when it had less than 50 members.
On SWC we have looked a number of aspects about AQ, not its ability to resurrect itself.
My first thoughts are: a) it is the resilience of the message, b) 'small is beautiful' easy to finance, organise etc and c) will it work minus OBL?
