.... Surely you understand that when any of the top five are killed
others then move up to take their place.

But *how* do they move up - that's the question. Is al Quaeda a union shop?
Do they bid for position; is the advancement solely by seniority? Surely an
organization so concerned with the welfare of its own people would never
stoop to meritocracy. Who keeps the records, keeps track of date-of-hire?
Or, are all these folks we're hearing about members of management? Could
be. If that's the case, we shouldn't care if they live or die, since they
are, by definition, worthless, lying scum. Good. Glad that's taken care
of.
