Al Qaeda using internet...oops

For what?

"The State Department said that al-Qaeda as a worldwide terrorist network was getting weaker, but a growing threat had emerged from small and 'difficult to detect' groups who were using the internet. "

What te hell is this? Another reason to seed conrtol of the Internet to huge telecom corporations, which have already shown their willingness to go along with criminal requests by the administration, for data-mined information on American citizens?
