(not that 5 is "many"- but let's see if you can get to 5) I knew he should have short-circuited that response by saying "Too numerous to mention." :o} Rather than "5" I would have picked the number "19" to see if he could get up to the number of terrorists in the US for 9/11.

R. examples - "recent" isn't important. You may wish to use the passage of time to give our enemies a pass, I don't. "recent" is also arbitrary. IMO you are keying in on recent examples to justify overlooking those you wish to dismiss. However the most recent example that comes to mind was the slaying of Lawrence Foley in October 2002: • In October, Lawrence Foley, an official with the U.S. Agency for International Development, was gunned down in Amman, Jordan.
