The Guardian: The CSIS disputes reports that Saudis account for most of the foreign insurgents and says best estimates suggest Algerians are the largest group (20%), followed by Syrians (18%), Yemenis (17%), Sudanese (15%), Egyptians (13%), Saudis (12%) and those from other states (5%). British intelligence estimate the number of British jihadists at about 100.It seems to me that you can believe all kinds of secondary sources, including the CSIS, the relentlessly Obama-loving MSNBC and the border-line communist Guardian, or you can believe the people who are having to face the jihadis day-in and day-out, our GI's.

The LA Times numbers come from the U.S. Military. It seems to me you will believe what you want.
Myself, I see that the various reports only show a small fraction of the total number of foreign fighters in Iraq and I cannot come to the same conclusion that you do.
