#1 Something important to keep in mind. As the more capable leadership is picked off, those that remain are going to be the ones who are less disciplined and not quite so "strategic" in their thinking. These individuals are likely to perpetrate crimes that are unspeakable but in the longer term are going to do more harm than good for al Qaida.

So expect a spike in violence, a spike in the horrible nature of the crimes, but also expect them to be be rounded up at an increasing rate. People like that tend to be more emotional in their actions and this will lead to their killing or capture at an increasing rate.

#3 Where are those screaming about the Geneva Convention rights for inhuman savages who make war on their own using weapons banned by all civilized society?

#4 I want every country that (rightfully) complains about the suffering in Darfur to contribute troops to Diyala.

Here too we have the killing of the innocent.

#5 Reading that makes me glad Saddam Hussein will never threaten the civilized world with WMD's - now if someone destroys Iran's nuclear weapons program the world will be a much safer place.

#6 So far I haven't seen the words come out of AI's or HRW's mouths.

And you won't. I can't believe that I actually used to donate money to these worthless jackals.

#7 I can't believe that I actually used to donate money to these worthless jackals.

Now that's the kind of metaphor that is simply insulting. Jackals hunt vermin. HRW defends vermin.
