Yes, I did see it, but was not sure what conclusions to draw. AQ has always been described as a series of "franchises", not a top-down organization. If Zarqawi is currently operating without aid from AQ in Pakistan, does that mean he never had aid? Or that he had aid before, but the aid has now ceased due to a disagreement on strategy or AQ straightened circumstances? Or maybe he's been operating with more Ba'athist than AQ help ever since he 'bought the franchise' and set up shop in Iraq?

The evidence as we know it can support all these conclusions.
