What is AQ these days? There's probably some truth to the claim that constant harassment by the CIA et al has "degraded" its capabilities, whatever those were. Most of the leadership is dead, behind bars, or on the run. Whatever structure it had is probably gone. But there are all these freelancers and affiliates around the world who can do plenty of mischief on their own. It doesn't take that many people to blow up an embassy.
