The Zawahiri Letter

If you want to better understand how the battles going on in Afghanistan and Iraq are connected to the global war on terrorism, you need to read the Zawahiri Letter. This is believed to be a communication from Ayman al-Zawahiri to Zarqawi. It lays out al-Qaeda's present goals and strategies in detail, and includes an entreat to Zarqawi to learn some public relations skills and nix the televised beheadings. There is, of course, always the possibility that the letter is not what it appears to be, but the experts apparently believe it's genuine.

Thanks to Michelle Malkin for the heads up.
