#1 As they say, How will this play in Peoria?

#2 I don't believe they cannot be infiltrated. Johnny Jihad got in; so did Jose Padilla. US law enforcement just hasn't focused on this until the operational equivalent of about five minutes ago. With time and resources, these guys can be broken. Nobody was more insular than the mafia, and between the agents and the turncoats they're a shadow of their former selves. A lot of these jihadis are itching to open their mouths and tell us how big and scary they are, how much righteous destruction they're planning to bring down on us. We'll get inside these guys. They only think they're invulnerable. That's part of why they'll lose.

Johnny Jihad Walker got in but was a basically cannon fodder. He knew very little. Padilla may know more or may not evidently we worked on him for two years.

Yes they can be infiltrated but probably only at the lower levels. Getting to the upper levels takes years.

Also, as I recall, central Illinois was the place where former pro Arab US representative Paul Findley (a republican, btw) persuaded the US arab organizations to hold annual conventions (they would use the tax subsidized and money losing convention centers in Springfield, Decatur, Peoria, etc).

#5 Ah. The fellow I attended college with. Al'Marri was an undergrad at Bradley while I was there; I think he was two years behind me.

'Round about the Gulf War, a friend of mine had a talk with one of Bradley's "international" students. This fine fellow had a map of the Middle East that differed from reality in an important way: Israel was not on it. Just a blob labeled "Palestine".
