Seems all is not wonderful for the al Qaedas. Great WSJ column about how al Qaeda is losing that kumbaya feeling.

Seems that a former al Qaeda big shot, Sayyed Imam Al-Sharif, denounced suicide-bomber recruitment techniques. He's advocating gaining permission from BOTH parents before being allowed to blow oneself into paradise. Both parents?!? Planned Parenthood thinks this guy is nuts.
Then, al Qaeda's head man in Afghanistan Mustafa Ahmed Muhammad Uthman Abu-al-Yazid, Jr (not his real name, I added the Jr - ha ha), went on the 24 hour Jihadi channel, Al-Sahab, to call for recruits. He spoke for 46 minutes asking for mothers, fathers, and wives to not be a barrier to suicide bombing. 46 minutes!?! Bill Clinton thinks this guy talks too much.
Finally, Ayman al-Zawahiri wrote a 215 page beat-down of Sayyed Imam Al-Sharif, basically alleging that he's absorbed too much voltage at the hands of the infidels. 215 pages?!? Tom Clancy thinks this guy needs and editor.
Anyway, bottom line, al Qaeda is scuffling - accoding to the WSJ anyway.
