American and Iraqi troops killed or captured 53 al Qaeda leaders. These include
men in charge of entire cities (or portions of large cities like Mosul or
Baghdad), as well as men in charge of various aspects of terror operations
(making bombs, placing them or minding the bombers). Most important, nine of
the ten most senior men involved, were captured, and interrogated. This led to
locating more al Qaeda staff, and assets. Hundreds of weapons and explosives
caches have been discovered this year, as a result of interrogating captured
terrorists.<SPAN>  </SPAN>The result has been a sharp
fall in suicide bomber attacks, and the ones still carried out are against soft
targets</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htterr/articles/20080422.aspx">All this
is good news, meaning it's not reported.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htterr/articles/20080422.aspx">Bad news brings in the eyeballs and
advertising revenue. Stories of desertion and desperation in Basra grab the
headlines, while al Qaeda's travails are relegated to the back pages, if at
all.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/343A1DE0-9808-4346-8910-2D1B13D8273E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
