Anyone reading this book should know that this week's New Yorker -- the Sept. 11 issue -- has an article by Lawrence Wright in it about Al Qaeda in the last five years. Definitely worth reading if you're reading the book, and even if you're not (although I'm only part-way through it).
If you can't get a copy, PM me, and I'll find a way to scan it or something.
eta: Alas, it's not on their web site.
