If you only have time to read one article on the current state of al-Qaeda, read the new special report in the Economist. Not only does the author, Anton La Guardia, have great taste (Jihadica and some CTC products I worked on are listed in the sources), but he has done a masterful job of tying together a lot of conflicting trends.
(Note that the links for all of the articles in the report are on the right-hand side of the screen.)

Hey Will,
Thanks for the tip, and I agree that this is a very solid big-picture account. As for good taste, looks like he made use of Cracks in the Foundation as well
Cheers, and barak allah fik for the consistently outstanding reporting in this blog. I recommend it to all of my students.
