We often like to think of terrorists as certifiably insane, and hell-bent on causing death and destruction for the sake of causing death and destruction.

Nothing could be further from the truth, especially where the Islamic State is involved.

Apparently, ISIS's chief strategist got himself killed last year in the embattled town of Tal Rifaat. 

Taking-out a terror chieftain was certainly good news.  But what's even better is the treasure trove of documents he left behind revealing the structure of the Islamic State.

Let's hope we can put this intelligence coup to good use.
