Review from Goodreads: <p>Amy rated it with 4 stars and had this to say: <p> Al-Qaida After Ten Years of War was both a comforting collection of papers and a horrifying collection of papers about the state of Al-Qaida ten years after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. What I took away from this collection is that Al-Qaida has been disrupted in many ways, but unfortunately, it's like a hydra; if you cut off one of its heads, it regenerates two more.<p>According to these papers, Al-Qaida has become an exporter of terrorism; its tactics, organization, and ideals have been exported to many other terrorist groups around the world, some affiliated with Al-Qaida Central, and some totally independent.

Al-Qaida in Central Asia is a real threat because there's precious little that can be done about them without flaming the fires further (kind of tough to go in and launch an attack with both China and Russia sitting right there), and oh, because they have the greatest liklihood of getting their hands on the loose WMD's kicking around after the fall of the Soviet Union. Al-Qaida in Pakistan is a threat because, as we are aware, Pakistan is Al-Qaida's base of operations, and yet, Pakistan is (ostensibly) a U.S. ally.<p>After reading these papers I've come to think that we in the United States are greatly under-informed about the state of terrorism in the world (ironic, since we're bombared with information on a da
