"Our rate of catching terrorists is now quicker than their rate of replacing themselves," said a senior officer.

This means that the arrests and targeting of key terrorist cell leaders happen about as often as they take up command. They are nabbed before they gain sufficient expertise. In many cases, lower-level activists find themselves at the head of a cell, and even then spend most of their time avoiding arrest.


Somewhere Bilow's math went terribly wrong.

Interesting analysis on the end of the intifada. One should make this mental note about anti-Terror wars: nobody makes an announcement when they are over.

It's also a kick in the pants to those who say targetted killings don't work. Well, yes they do. And this intifada has proved it.
