  >I think that comment was meant to convey that drone operators are hard to reach for your average terrorist. Why is it important to state that 'Muslim' terrorists have only attacked civilians so far? (A claim that is not true as I've pointed out before.) I don't think that's what the comment conveyed. I believe his point was to show that US drone operators are also living in civilian areas (similar to Hamas or whatever who operate among civilians). Thus if someone were to attack them, they could claim to kill civilians purely as collateral damage. >'Somehow' some people get turned into murderous psychopaths by religion and some others do not. Is that the depth of your analysis? False. Somehow we (today - perhaps it was different around the Crusades or 100 year war in Europe) don't have a problem of Christian terrorism, Jewish terrorism or Buddhist terrorism. Yet there is a really big problem of Muslim terrorism - so there must be something in whatever version of that religion (perhaps backward but rich Saudis spreading their version of it are responsible) that's causing it.
