John I've noticed that if some figure supports your version of the story you pass it on uncritically as if it was a certain and decidied matter (10,000 new and fully trained terrorist in Iraq, 100,000 + civilian deaths in Iraq), but if anyone else brings up a figure you demand a lot of links and argument for it, or just consider it as bogus. - Significant chunks of their leadership have been killed or captured; (But their membership and motivation has increased.) I think their membership has probably decreased, but others have been inspired by them. (It was 8 years between the first and the second <and only> attacks, so we are still under the frequency curve. If there are no attacks in the next 4.5 years, I'll admit that the threat has decreased. If there is an attack in the next 4.5 years, will you admit that the threat has increased?) Neither outcome will really settle the issue. It would take something more extreme to really be evidence for one side or the other, something like multiple major attacks in the same year, or no sucessfull major attacks over the next decade or two.
