#6 Dan the Terrorologist, and TGA who knows the new Pope?

This place is CONNECTED!

Dan, I hope you have good points on the abuse of religion as ideaology for terror. This seems to be something that the "experts" are loathe to discuss, unless it involves Catholocism and the IRA (which fortunately has gone out of vogue as people have seen the IRA to be completely political and non-Christian). I guess we Irish Cahtolics are fair game, but Wahabbi Saaudi Islamists get a free pass... unitl now (go Dan!)

Trailing Wife, I am currently a junior in college here at Rockhurst University and won't be graduating till May 2006.

#9 Dan,

Please pay attention to the increasingly blurred line between ideologically-motivated terror groups and international criminal organizations (see FARC, IRA, etc).

The point isn't that terror is just a police problem, or a "nuisance" that "we'll just have to get used to" (as per that moron who went down to defeat last Nov) but that the m.o. for terror groups now includes

1) advanced cross-border organizational and funding tactics perfected by international crime rings; and

2) gangster justice and other forms of takeover of local political institutions

#10 How can we defeat it?

Dan, can we pass on suggestions for you to bring up before the panel?
Like "kill them all"?

#11 A junior...hmmm. Perhaps a tad old for trailing daughter #1, but... can you cook? ;-) (Not to worry, I'm not really one of that kind of mother.)

#12 Dan - I'd say that the use of our institutions against us by CAIR, et al, might be the largest threat we face. Bush & Co have done a credible job of either containing (NorK, PakiWakiLand, etc.) or dismembering and fragmenting (flypaper in Iraq was an unexpected bonus - thx, jihadis!) the Islamists. Internally, however, we are not doing so well and have lost some legal battles. It's easier to frighten people with vague charges about the Patriot Act and that they're suddenly going to have barcodes tatooed on their forearms than it is to get them worked up about the rights of jihadis on the battlefield.

Just my $0.02.

Thank you for the great work you do - and my sincere appreciation for the awesome content you provide on RB! All the very best.

#14 How's about we get everyone in the US government to read:

They Just Don't Get It : How Washington Is Still Compromising Your Safety--and What You Can Do About It -- by COLONEL DAVID HUNT

I hear him on the radio yesterday. Now that guy wants to take action!

#15 RM - A favorite commenter on Fox. He gets so worked up sometimes that he almost loses it, heh, but one thing is certain: he knows whereof he speaks and pulls no punches. Thx for the tip!

#17 And don't forget the huge vulnerability that is our southern border. Beslan, coming to a mall/school/sports event near you.

#18 Yes, I am indeed in Kansas City.

Should be back in DC the Thursday before Memorial Day.
