Al Qaeda: "We are so desperate"

Several days ago, the military announced that a senior Al Qaeda leader, Abu Osama al-Tunisi, had been killed in an airstrike. I blogged about al-Tunisi's demise here, including information on 2 US troops killed by al-Tunisi's terrorist cell. Now comes word of an un-mailed letter found in the rubble. The letter, evidently written by Abu Osama al-Tunisi, was a plea for help from other insurgent sympathizers. Included in the letter was this sentence: "We are so desperate for your help." Patterico has more here.
