Fantastic article!
One point I've read elsewhere is that successful Islamic terrorists are a single-use resource, what with their habit of killing themselves during the attack. This means all their terrorism skills are lost with the successful attack, and the pool of competent terrorists shrinks. Not to mention, the wealth of experience and on-the-ground information is lost as well.

- InclinedPlane 15y agoThe most successful terrorist attacks against the US did not use bombs, they used commodity weapons and teams that required thousands of dollars and weeks of specialized training.
- anamax 15y ago> teams that required thousands of dollars and weeks of specialized training. The folks who ran that training are still alive.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoYes, the civilian flight instructors in the US, I imagine they are probably still alive. What's your point?
- anamax 15y agoI'm referring to the folks who planned the operation and trained the hijackers. Do you really think that the hijackers trained themselves?
