#1 "ALGIERS: Dozens of foreigners who joined Al-Qaeda's Algeria-based North Africa wing have been leaving because they are ~~dead~~ disillusioned,
a recent deserter from the group said in remarks published on Wednesday."

I bet Al-Qaeda in Iraq is having similar problems.

#2 "They are doing the opposite of what Islam advocates," he said, mentioning suicide bombings and racketeering. "Resorting to suicide attacks and explosives is the strategy of organizations at bay."

Interesting statement from a former AQ/Maghreb leader, even if he did qualify it by saying that the situations in Iraq and Afghanistan are different.
