And Neither did I.Given the effectiveness with which two unfunded, low budget, terrorists shut down the DC area, perhaps we should be glad that al Quaeda doesn't go for the 'illa' in guerrilla. Think how horrible it would be to face dozens of groups around the country using the "Quicksilver Sniper" Tactics, particularly if they did not give themselves away with phone calls claiming credit.
As I recall, these two were murderous criminals - they robbed a store and shot a clerk prior to commencing their sniping attacks. It is sad that the boy was drawn in by a father figure and if he could be reformed I might be willing to forgo the death penalty for him.
On the other hand, letting the main culprit rot in prison for decades might also have a certain appeal. I contend that if they do get a better life after death then imprisonment would make a more fitting punishment.
Who said this was Al Qaeda plot, I didn't and neither did Mal. Rather it was a Jihadi thing! Don't twist things!
I said it is fortunate that al Quaeda likes to make a few big "Boom" attacks instead of a lot of little attacks. Perhaps my lack of proper use of paragraph indentation confused things. For that I apologize.
