Do you want the good news first or the bad news first? OK, here's the good news: Some al-Qaeda fighters really might be leaving Iraq. (We've been hearing lately that they're fighting with Iraq-born Sunni insurgents -- maybe that's true.)

Now for the bad news: Some of those al-Qaeda fighters may be leaving to go blow themselves up in Afghanistan:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Al-Qaida militants are coming from Iraq to fight in the insurgency in Afghanistan, a provincial governor said Thursday after interrogating an Iraqi caught sneaking into the country illegally....

"There is a big group coming from Iraq," Nimroz provincial Gov. Ghulam Dusthaqir Azad said. "They're linked to al-Qaida and fought against U.S. forces in Iraq. They have been ordered to come here. Many are suicide attackers." ...

Azad made the comments in a satellite telephone interview to The Associated Press from his office in the remote desert city of Zaranj after he questioned the Iraqi, who was identified as 35-year-old Numan din Majid from Diyala province, west of Baghdad.

Majid was arrested Monday in Zaranj, on the Afghan-Iran border, along with three Pakistanis, two of whom were believed to be militants from Kashmir, Azad said. They were all believed to have crossed into Afghanistan from Iran....

Great -- an international crew. What's going on here? Didn't we win this war?
