"There is a tendency out there to envision a stereotypical Muslim fighter standing with an AK-47 in barren Afghanistan [...] But Hamas, Hezbollah and bin Laden's groups have very sophisticated, well-educated people. Their technical equipment is good, and they have the bright, young minds to operate them"
Funny, I have during the recent few days arrived at the exact opposite conclusion: terrorists most often are isolated Muslims from Afghanistan who hijack planes with knives and rely on couriers for communications, while the stereotypical fighter envisioned by politicians and journalists is most of the time thought to be some AOL-junkie who will be greatly hindered in his activities if crypto regulations and other unconstitutional 1984 style laws are enforced.
But what do I know, I'm just an ordinary citizen, not some all-knowing babykissing politician.
I object! The last couple of days almost all Slashdot reporting has centered round this largly American issue of your country being bombed. Y'know, there are 20 or so Europeans hanging out here too that would like to get some decent tech news. Sheesh.
For the humor impaired, that was intended to be funny.
