RE Nasrallah -- mea culpa. Thanks for the correction. Part of the benefit of the 'group mind' here, no?
My info came from al-Sharq al-Awsat, sometime around the end of last year; what that article said was that Nasrallah remains SecGen and head of intelligence, but that his primary duty was as 'spokesman', while operational decision making (to the extent that it's a one-person decision making apparatus, which is dubious) responsibility was transferred to Naim Qasim, who's been closer to the mullahs out east. Having been caught in it now, I sort of remember thinking, hm, let's keep an eye on that one, but my leisure to ponder the intricacies of the world's various movements and their meaning sort of dried up after that ... :>
You're right, though, I should have done my homework and gotten an update before posting that. I plead Friday gin and tonics, and throw myself on the mercy of the court!
