you should read carlos hathaway(i think thats the names) ex cia, who wrote about the
changing face of intel gathering, good statements about human inteligence. which is
pretty much what you hear other people(senators and what not) quoting today.

ah, but it is suicide, and they die for what they believe in poorly in most cases, in
this one incident they had to be on the planes of course but in many of the other
suicide attacks and bombings you really have much less effec than a well planned
attack on a source. a cowards way of pretending to be big and important.
