Well, one reliable source is Gen. Myers, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. He has the "foreign fighter" elements at 1,000 (2/4/05). While
the "true" government figures as to the size of the insurgency may be
classified, no where have I read it being under 10,000. Most estimates
have it at 20,000 and up.
