Didn't an Al Qaeda man make it all the way through Special Forces training a few years back?

I think you're talking about Ali Mohamed, but he was arrested in '98, and had been out of the Army for some years before that. This new case suggests they have maintained their presence. Note that they tried to get this guy into the active-duty Army in '98. I wonder why he was discharged as an E-2 after a month.

I do not think he did the Q and went fully through. But he was assigned to a Spec. Forces unit or 2. Quite a dis-tasteful episode.
