Well, as is my usual habit, I'll screw everything up by going over the head of MSNBC (a.k.a. Al Jazeera West) and link to the original report.

It might be educational to look up the quotes MSNBC used in their original context. The rest of the report--Iraq is mentioned only 8 times in 123 pages--deals with the international big picture, and is informative.

Of course, the "Iraq creating terrorists" concept is based on the puzzling idea that somehow, all these radical Islamists would have treated the destruction of the Taliban and decimation of al Qaeda in Afghanistan with a big yawn, and stayed home to work on the farm.

And I'm not too worried about legions of experienced suicide bombers spreading out across the world.

BTW, am I to take this as a sign that the CIA is now considered a reliable source again? ;)
