Know Your Enemy
This is a very important document, detailing just how big, broad, and organized Bin Laden is. Bin Laden is like a CEO, leading a coalition of terrorist groups. Dodging responsibility for terrorist action is the primary goal of this group.
This is the plausible deniability the Taleban is using. Bin Laden may not have personally ordered this attack, but the cell that did it was undoubtedly financed through him.
I don't think Americans realize what we're facing here. This is a network of terrorist organizations that reaches from Lebanon to Palestine and many points in between. Killing Bin Laden may be satisfying, but it won't stop this activity. Destroying the cell responsible for this attack will not stop this activity.
This really is a war against a decentralized nation of terrorists. It's going to be long, bloody, and very, very messy.
