Exactly. The DC folks got caught because they used the same vehicle and stayed in the same area. Al Qaeda surely has the resources to avoid that one.

Add in some random rural targets and the entire country comes to a standstill. That this hasn't happened yet indicates to me either that Al Qaeda is far more neutered than we generally think, or they utterly lack any amount of imagination.

It's rather terrifying how close our society is to total panic and shutdown.

Or perhaps Al Quaeda isn't quite what you've been told. For some reason that is considered impossible by almost all normally open minded people.


I tend to doubt that Al Qaeda is some poor, misunderstood group of people who just want to be our friends if we'd only let them.
