Four years into the war on terror, U.S. intelligence officials tell me there are no baseline studies of the Muslim prophet Muhammad or his ideological or military doctrine found at either the CIA or Defense Intelligence Agency, or even the war colleges.

This is either gross negligence or kowtowing to political correctness. Neither is a legitimate excuse for this dereliction of duty.

And given this recent, but long overdue, revelation, how do we insulate the nascent democracy in Iraq from Islam (if such a thing is even possible).

Better late than never...but there will be a heavy price to pay for being late.
