Re: al-Zawahri - Place your bets now!!
d) It's pointless debating it
By the time they've announced something like this he'll either have miraculously dissapeared (see: hiding up a tree for possibilities) or he'll have been captured and they're leaving the announcement until Friday so they can make sure it actually is who they think it is.

saddam didnt really espouse the values of killing yourself for the cause quite as much as al qaeda have done.

Not as much, but he did.
But then he's not relying on suicide bombings to make a point.

Hehe. I bet Osama's still wondering that about Khalid Shaikh Mohammed--al Qaeda'a former #3 man; as well as several of his other lieutenants such as Ramzi Binalshibh, Walid Ba'Attash, Abu Zubaydah, and Hasan Ghul. Apparently, the Die-For-the-Cause class was required coursework only for the lowest echelons.

Presumably the top people are mildly intelligent and probably not too keen on pointlessly dying.

I thought dying was the pretty much the whole point of the martyrdom thing?
There's also the problem of revealing what you know under interrogation, which might make their deaths somewhat less pointless.

Well Osama et al would kill themselves but then who would arrange stuff such as who dies next etc - I mean they would be martyrs ofc, just they cant be - ie they would if they could but they cant!! [/sarcasm]
