| #4 Qutbism, aka the Muslim Brotherhood, is only the most prominent of many Muslim organizations advancing Islamic conquest of the world. The root of the problem isn't the Muslim Brotherhood or Al Qaeda or Taliban or Salafism Deobandism or Twelver Shiism or Hizb Allah or Hizb ut Tehrir, it is Islam, the death and sex cult. |

| #3 ...discern what Pakistani madrassas are cranking out future fighters, and use a little counter-terrorism on them, wiping them out... Those would be the ones teaching Qutbism, aka the Muslim brotherhood. |

| #2 I agree about the balance between information and action; but the serious question has to be asked, at what point are we just playing whack-a-mole with what are effectively bands of renegades, of little or no intelligence value? At this point, you reach a different level of operations. For example, discern what Pakistani madrassas are cranking out future fighters, and use a little counter-terrorism on them, wiping them out, and making it look like a competing sect did it. By now, we should have created an "anti-al-Qaeda" organization, with fabricated radical Islamic doctrines, focused entirely on exterminating other radical Muslims. Utterly disinterested in infidels, they work completely within the Ummah to wipe out Islamists. |

| #1 There is always the tension between "justice" and intelligence. On the one hand you want to bring terrorists to account. On the other hand you want to "follow the ants" so that more of the terrorist network becomes exposed. Perhaps it is best that the FBI isn't in charge of fighting the foreign war on terror (sorry John). The US doesn't use drones to zap terrorists in friendly countries (where we would grab them). The US uses drones to zap terrorist where there would be substantial risk to ground forces trying to capture a high valued target. All that being said, I can't help thinking that given B.O.'s politics, |
