I don't agree. I think it's safe to assume that for every suicide bomber there has to be a network of people supporting and supplying him or her. Likely the actual bombers are immigrants to Europe and so also have a few "control" agents residing else where. So, let's put that all together: 1.) 10 aircraft x 3 bombers per aircraft (seems low, but we'll go with 3) = 30 2.) Let's say there's 3 local support people for each team of 3. 10 x 3 = 30 + 30 = 60 3.) Then let's say there's 3 overseas support and supply agents for each team. 90 So, just SWAGGING it puts a number of 90 out there. Either way, the point is, it takes a lot of logistics control to pull something like this off. That takes people and organization. That means there is still plenty of that despite Afghanistan and Iraq. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212922 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
