The terrorists are dead. Do you mean potential or accessory to terrorists? Someone was saying we "should kill anyone who even THINKS about it". I pointed out that such a policy required a technology that we simply didn't have - mind reading. Is thinking about killing someone the same as doing it? If so then MANY of us are murderers. No, this mind-reading technology is not likely in the near future. This is like trying to separate the rot from a peach. There is that stuff that is rotten, there is that is kind of rotten, then there is part that is just unpalatable. Follow the money. You will find the financier (most likely bin Laden). You will find a series of sleazy, immoral, fanatical and corrupt middlemen of varying degrees of vileness. Then you will also have people who were just simply used. This is not a WAR. It involves intrigue and will be difficult, if not impossible, to ferret out the good from the bad in any clean way. Welcome to terrorism.
