| #7 One thing the article recommends is something I suspect happens already - when you find a guy you want to zap you wait and watch for a while, and find/follow who he interacts with, then hit the network in a swarm of attacks. I've noticed the drone attacks do seem to come in clusters, especially when a Mr. (kind of) Big is involved. |

| #6 "I suspect the terrorists fall into this pattern and thus have to reinvent the wheel from time to time after drone strikes." Increase the drone strikes! |

| #5 Folks in the third world tend to horde information as their own power-base. If they die that info is likely to die with them. I suspect the terrorists fall into this pattern and thus have to reinvent the wheel from time to time after drone strikes. |

| #2 Perhaps it is true, but only if the leaders being killed were just about to surrender, and their replacements don't have the juice to make it happen. I see no signs of such, and so, killing them is beneficial (well, not to them...) |

| #1 Bullshit, when they're dead, they can't fight or be anything else, It's the end. |
