The way to combat terrorism is through police action. Ah yes.. the "terrorism is crime" argument... Well Carl, you might want to listen to the terrorists. THEY don't believe they are criminals. They believe they are SOLDIERS waging a guerilla war in which they make THEIR OWN RULES... They can't be criminals if they never have a cognizance that the laws being enforced by police pertain to them. I suggest you read "Modern Warfare". www-cgsc.army.mil (PS: and just ignore how Trinquier condones the use of physical torture against captured terrorists because we're not doing that HONEST.. WE'RE NOT!!). The police are ILL-EQUIPPED to deal with uncovering and terminating an active, well-established terrorist cell network. It requires military interaction to take down that network. However, there are similarities between human intelligence activities and the use of police confidential informants. What you are trying to do here is effectively IGNORE the fact that the terrorists are at war with us and will do ANYTHING they need to do to wage that war, including sacrificing their lives for their cause. Criminals, on the other hand, will do anything they can get away with, so long as it doesn't cost them their lives while doing it (doing prison time is just the risk of their line of work.. but they don't want to die). Do you think 11 million people would have decided to exercise their right to vote in Iraq were it left merely to the Iraqi police to wage the counter-terrorist battle here? Highly unlikely... Hawk
