#6 Good code. However, I have issues, .com, with case statements that don't handle the default case.
I think the code pieces come up a bit short, though: I think the situation mirrors the classical Readers and writers/consumers-producers problem, where consumers==>terrorists, and producers==>terrorist financiers. These run in parallel, in separate threads, with an Osama thread acting as a task monitor to spawn new consumer threads when the running ones are, ahem, terminated. The iranian code is unique, incorporating elements of all three.
This code design is pretty resilient when tested against the design basis threat: Traditional law enforcement methods used on 9/10/01 which can only terminate consumer threads. The Osama/Iran monitor thread just respawns a new consumer/terrorist thread, and the game continues.
Consumer threads are very light weight and easy to spawn. Producer threads are lots harder to create, since they provide oodles of cash which they are not capable of generating on their own. They had to rely on western know-how and western thirst for oil to generate all that cash.
Now, if they had BRAINS, then they COULD start honest companies and generate all that cash on their own and get a REAL sense of self-respect, but a culture that easily generates legions of suicide bombers is a culture that comes up kinda short in the brains department.
Now, in the land of imbeciles, the Idiot is king: Osama's genius is that he wrote the program and stuck in the monitor task (himself). That separated the producers from the consumers, and given the design threat, gives the (hard to replace) producer threads assurance that they can't be traced: If you've got dough to finance the Jihad, you've got enough dough to enjoy life, and you WILL want to enjoy it. THAT part of the design has worked perfectly: we are STILL giving aid and comfort and good will to the Saudis.
The MSM and the lefist idiotarians continue to insist that all we need to do is terminate the consumer threads: Ya gotta hand it to Osama, he may hate our culture, but he READ the LEFTIES correctly.
His mistake? We've not only got more BRAINS than he does, but he got snookered believing the MSM trash that Bush doesn't HAVE brains. We figured out the design, realized law enforcement wasn't going to work IN ISOLATION, and terminated the Osama monitor thread first. THAT thread is the most un-re-spawnable, the Taliban knew it, and were willing to kiss their kingdom away and go down fighting to prevent that termination.
Monitor thread termination's nearly done. It's a bit harder with the producers, but we're making progress. Crappy progress, but progress none-the-less.
The issue with Z (a rotting corpse he soon will be, God willing), is that he's a micro-monitor thread running in Iraq: He's spawing new consumers, and is the key to connect producers to consumers. The public declaration that he represents Al-Q in Iraq is the last gasp of the Osama monitor thread signalling to the producers who to link up with and feed cash to.
The loss of his laptop is not just an intelligence bonanza: It probably had the ONLY LIST of producers, and if he's as bad off as we hope, he's in no condition to remember the entire list from memory. The consumers are too dumb to figure out from whom to get their cash to continue operating, and the clever producers will be too jumpy and antsy to trust anyone.
*looks at above post* I thrive on good metaphors.
