Juliette Kayyem on the latest State Department terror stats:

... Indeed, 11,000 [terrorist attacks in 2005] is a number I can't get my head around; it's too big for an attack by attack analysis (at least by me). So, I'll focus on three. In the last week, we've heard from the top three terrorist leaders alive today: bin laden, zarqawi and now zawahiri. That seems to me to be an equally relevant number we should follow. Three. They are not on the run, they are not in a cave, they have access to enough support and technology to speak to the world (and, if they have that, they can also likely speak to their partners in arms. )
