Has the US Defeated Al-Qaida in Iraq?

Michael Yon, a former member of US Special Forces and current citizen journalist in Iraq, files a report claiming that Al-Qaida can no longer count on the local populace to protect them from justice; apparently, their strategy of brutally killing innocent civilians has backfired.

While you are at Michael's site, I recommend that you take a look at some of the other reports he has filed; I especially enjoyed his series on the US attack on Baqubah earlier this year.
