In an article in the latest volume of the Columbia Journal of International Affairs (Fall/Winter 2008), Michael Jacobson and I argue that while mounting an individual terrorist attack may cost relatively little, money remains of critical importance to terrorist organizations. Without it, terrorist groups would be incapable of maintaining the broad infrastructure necessary to run an effective organ
Last month’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai focused anew a spotlight on the activities of Lashkar e Tayyiba, its offshoots, and its possible links with Al Qaeda. The investigation conducted by India, Pakistan and other cooperating countries has produced new evidence that Lashkar e Tayyiba operatives were directly engaged in planning and providing material support and assistance for the series o

Hamas, by the fact it is a terror organization, cannot be trusted. Why anyone with half a brain would enter into negotiations with this group is beyond any sense of sanity.
A Hamas official was quoted by Israel Radio on Saturday morning as saying that the group may cease negotiations to free kidnapped IDF solider Gilad Schalit if Egypt does not free Ayman Nofal, a senior Hamas leader.

It's depressing but true. Crazy thing is, Gary Shandling said it:On 9/11, Al Qaeda had no expectation of a traditional military victory against the United States.
