You have to know where to look to find the next ones. If you're looking for dropouts and losers you'll miss them, just like how the 9/11 bunch and these were missed. Call them what you want but the guys paid to spot and get them before they do the bad things need to know.

Personally, I don't care what the educational level or other achievement may be. A terrorist is a loser by definition.

I think in the wake of the London bombings it's clear that the AQ networks are not those comprised of losers and other miscreants recruited by terrorists that many think are the core of terrorist cells. I think it confirms Marc Sageman's thesis that these networks are self-selecting and those are drawn to it by some kind of social interaction based on common interests and some kind of common discontent with society that allows them to become radicals. Sageman is right again about the high educational level of these terrorists, just like the 9/11 core team.

Recall Al Qaeda head of operations Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, the man who masterminded the 9/11 attacks, got his engineering degree in North Carolina, I believe NC A&M.
