Terrorists - Powerline has an

Terrorists - Powerline has an excellent piece on the Ansar-e-Islam compound our forces raided, and what it means to the war on terror:

The Associated Press reports that American and Kurdish forces have searched the compound formerly occupied by Ansar al-Islam Islamofascists in northern Iraq, and have found "what may be the strongest evidence yet linking the group to al-Qaida." The search also yielded documents and computer data identifying Ansar members or sympathizers around the world. General Richard Myers says that the Ansar compound is believed to be the source of the ricin that was found in London a couple of months ago.

And as the guys say - it's not just about Al-Quaeda. Even if there's no link between Al-Quaeda and any Iraq; the terrorist world is both decentralized and cross-pollinating.

We have no idea what a big win this is going to turn out to be.
