#2 Prophet @ aid him

Darn right the prophet's got e-mail. He's got the hottest WiFi "hotspot" in the universe.

#3 What I find interesting is that al-Zarqawi is chided by al-Zawahiri for (allegedly? apparently?) being "deceived by the praise of some of the zealous young men and their description of you as the shaykh of the slaughterers, etc. They do not express the general view of the admirer and the supporter of the resistance in Iraq."

Should I take this to mean that al-Zarqawi not only has his own autonomous outfit riding al-Qaida's coattails (hence the name "al-Qaida in Iraq") but is surrounded by yes-men?

This might explain why al-Zawahiri sounds to me borderline reverential towards al-Zarqawi, emphasizing that al-Zarqawi is the man on the ground and begging for "from the front" news... which in turn might say a lot about al-Zawahiri's own level of communications and ability to network.

Oh, and two questions about al-Zawahiri's lengthy 'discussion' of the Shia question:
#1: "Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib, may God honor him" The heck, what's a Wahhabist saying this for???
#2: Is it just me, or does he make al-Zarqawi's fatwas look schizophrenic by covering all the bases in that big, question-filled paragraph?

By #2, I mean forget al-Zarqawi's flip-flopping on the Tater Tots...

#4 Is "long but useful info" a trademark?
