#2 What makes you think any of them went to actual schools, 3dc? :-(

Madrassas and other places of indoctrination don't count as schools.

#3 Most of your terrorist bigs are, in fact, quite well educated. Be it Maoist, Leninist, Islamicist or just average wannabe, most of the leaders come from middle-class (for the region) backgrounds and have at least some post secondary education.

Indeed in Asia, a fair number of the leaders are physicians.

#4 And they want to make sure nobody else gets a real education, Steve - lest the sheeple get ideas or something....
