I agree large was a bit overstated. I believe the number of active terrorists in the Philippines is down from 1000 to about 200. That is, however, still a sizable number of extremely violent terrorists to cope with.

Interesting too that they have been receiving $20,000 monthly from Iraq...and of course the $20 million Ghaddafi gave them in 2000 after the big kidnapping didn't hurt their ability.

Whatever happened to the Iraq embassy in Manila and the Iraqi personnel there?
