AN AL-QAEDA TERRORIST has been nabbed in Spain today; he was wanted in his home country, Morocco, for sending terrorists to Iraq. Andrew Cochran thinks the fact that he was arrested in Spain is troubling, "indicating possible plans to carry out attacks there and in Europe and a network of supporters and sympathizers sufficient to support his presence there."

Well, not necessarily so: a cynic might say that he was here just because he thought he was in a safe place, where so many people see anything that hurts the Americans as semi-heroes. But I'm not a cynic so I won't say it.

Oops.
