I suspect that our desire to find a single mastermind culprit is obtuse...it is part of our John Wayne/Hollywood mind set...and it suggests that we don't understand terrorist organizations as well as we should...while there is certainly a central organizer, and it may well be Bin Laden, I am sure lots of different organizations and groups contributed to 9/11, some perhaps, not really knowing what they were part of...
we will fail in our desire to eradicate Terrorism if we treat the enemy as an organized unit...We are like the Nazis fighting the french resistance...When D Day came the employees of a French Government Mapping department all discovered that they had all been working for the French Resistance, and all secretly contributing to mapping the coast of brittany and normandy for the allies, but were part of different cells...one cause, dozens to different armies...this is the difficulty...
