This logic, applied differently, sounds like this:

If the terrorists already have networks and resources, what does it matter whether they have more? The only thing the American war on terrorism has done is eliminate Americans' civil rights.

Explosives, small arms, and biological & nuclear weapons don't kill people, terrorists do.

Seriously, this binary absolutism doesn't sit well. Also, I always found "perps" to be a funny word. Kinda like "pervs."
