The United States and its allies are chewing their way through terror networks on every populated continent. On any given day, international terrorists and their leaders are surrendering, being captured or killed. Terrorist commanders from Iraq to Indonesia face life sentences in prison or await execution. Those who remain find their networks in tatters, their funding sources starting to dry up and fewer places to hide.

Things have changed in the two years since 9/11. The terrorists now are the prey, though still a dangerous one.

Great article! I agree 100%.

I did find this quote slightly amuseing: "The United States and its allies are chewing their way through terror networks on every populated continent."

Is there an unpopulated continent? Are there terrorists in Antarctica? Maybe that's were Osama & Saddam are hideing? LOL

The State Department's annual report on terrorism, released earlier this year, shows a 44 percent drop in attacks by "international terrorists" in 2002 from the previous year and down to its lowest level since 1969 - more than three decades ago.

There's a metric for Sec Rumsfeld.
