In an article about how the U.S. is finally becoming a little smarter about fighting Islamic terrorists, the NY Times found this nugget:

And Abdul-Aziz el-Sherif, a top leader of the armed Egyptian movement Islamic Jihad and a longtime associate of Mr. Zawahri, the second-ranking Qaeda official, has just completed a book that renounces violent jihad on legal and religious grounds.

THIS is exactly the sort of thing we should be broadcasting far and wide.
