I think that everybody, no matter how hawkish they are in the war against radical Islam — no matter how many fronts they would like to open, no matter how many "insurgents" they hope to kill — knows that this "war against terrorism" will only be won when the bad guys decide not that they've had enough (they never will) but that they are on the wrong side, or playing by the wrong jihadist rule book.
And the first step to that long-hoped-for end — actually writing a rule book — has now been made. You see, there actually is one Jihadist group that al Qaeda looks up to, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group who was fighting against Gadhafi's regime in Libya. The Libyan government was able to do something that the U.S. Government was not able to do: Negotiate with terrorists. What the negiotiations yielded may be the most important tool against al Qaeda ever: A 417-page guide to honorable jihad; a jail-house lucubration authored by the senior-most members of this senior-most Muslim insurgent group outlining ethics and behavior in jihad; thankfully, it is very good news for people who want to see less bloodshed... especially of innocent people.
