The word "duh" comes to mind...

In the wake of the bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad, CNN is reporting that terrorism experts are now saying that Iraq has become a magnet for al Qaeda terrorists who want to attack and kill Americans. [link]

Umm, well, that's logical, isn't it? Certainly, it has to be easier to sneak into Iraq than into the U.S., and easier to hide among the local population, right? And if your goal is to inflict pain on ordinary Americans, it's just as effective to kill reservists and volunteers as it is to kill civilians, right? [Not that that makes the deaths any less tragic, just logically foreseeable]. Now, surely someone in the Cheney-Rumsfeld-Wolfowitz camp saw this coming and developed a plan to deal with this problem, right?
