Al Qaeda - Has Al-Jazeera turned against them?

Here's what caught my eye in this AP report on the release of Al Qaeda's latest tape.

It was not clear why the video was not released soon after the date it was allegedly filmed. Al-Zawahri has appeared in at least three videotapes filmed since November, all of them aired on the Al-Jazeera news network. Thursday's video was posted on a Web forum used by Islamic militants to issue public statements and videos.


Zarqawi's attack on a wedding party in Jordan backfired and as a result he was demoted in Iraq. In addition, almost everyone in Iraq has turned against al Qaeda.

Could Al Jazeera's refusal, if that is what it is, be a sign of weakening support for al Qaeda in the Muslim world?

Let's hope so.
