I agree that that is likely accurate. Something that I have thought about (and I don't know why), is that if twenty young men on a suicide mission could take out over 3000 Americans on 9/11, why haven't another 20 been dispatched to take out more? I know the object of knocking down the WTC was as big of a part as the loss of lives, but it seems to me that the 150 people/terrorist average that day would have made them look to making bigger losses of life. That kind of makes me think that there are'nt as many of these guys willing to come over here and kill us as Tom Ridge wants us to believe. Either that or Islamic extremists lack creativity.
