Good Read

An article about Al Queda today - a really good, reasonable one that talks about how Al Queda, as we previously knew it, no longer really exists. Al Queda was essentially a training and planning organization and was destroyed when we invaded Afghanistan. All of the follow up terrorism has been done on behalf of Al Queda, but were not planned by Al Queda itself. Al Queda is now essentially an ideological movement - morphed back into the Salafi jihad movement that existed prior to Bin Laden and Zawahari merging their organizations.

The challenge, according to this article, is not tracking down terrorist groups, which isn't particularly difficult if we devote the resources to it, but rather to win the war of ideas so we don't see another generation of islamic terrorists grow up.
