4. Shouldn't be.
That would be Zawahiri. #2 since the late '90s, IIRC.

If they got him, good.

Perhaps you're confusing the Middle East with South Central Asia.

6. They have an efficient personnel department? OR
The media can't count past two?

This may be a #3. How many are in the top tier?

7. It's #2 - they know what they're talking about in an elementary school
sense. It's all #2 trotted out there for your entertainment pleasure. "Beware the Tan Man! Oh, hey look we got some #2..." rinse, repeat

8. "Who are you?" "The new Number 2. You are Number 6."

9. Let me guess...
ANOTHER mastermind?

Al Qaeda must have a shitload of "high ranking" "masterminds". For a while we were capturing something like one every other week.
