>>AQ's capability has been destroyed for the time being by the fighting in Iraq. If not where are they? Why have they not launched another spectacular attack? Not only that AQ has revealed their hand in Iraq and many Muslims have learned to appreciate their threat. They are not recruiting the way they were before.<<

Al Qaeda In Iraq, a group that didn't exist before we invaded Iraq, has been largely destroyed, yes.
The parent group of Al Qaeda has been laying low, and I've read reports, including one on this thread just last week, saying that they are still doing well with recruiting, largely because there is widespread anger at the way the war in Iraq has been conducted, and because of Abu Grahib, Guantanamo, and secret torture prisons around the world.
They're still producing their video tapes, and exhorting their followers to kill Americans wherever and whenever they can. And you can be quite sure they are still planning, planning, planning.
