Al Qaeda's operations seem to have been remarkably centralized. Which hopefully means that, by wiping out its base (and hopefully its leadership,) we cripple its ability to act.

Yes, it seems as though the "upper level managers" are extreme micro-managers with respect to nearly every aspect of their operations. The inability to fund and communicate with their field operatives may be the reason we have *thankfully* experienced no further attacks.
