Plenty!

You must be including the the torturers and executioners.
Michael Yon tells us that intelligence between cells in Iraq is a problem for the insurgents. This causes overlap in effort and lack of information planning attacks, so they often hit the wrong target.
But I suppose it doesn't matter as long as they blow somebody up, anybody up.

Now there are so many cells in Baghdad they can use two tin cans and a string, but that said, I doubt if many of the cells have what the US Army would call "intelligence officers".
