The Mentality of the Threat

The new terrorist is not some bomb throwing Russian anarchists of 19th century or a desperate Indian independence ghter. We are not dealing with political opponents using misguided means for a sometimesjustied cause. Today’s terrorists are products of modern society and all its ills. Most are simply psychopathic criminals hiding in political and religious clothing. They are sick individuals. The lunatics really have escaped the asylum and created political parties and religious movements. They are mentally ill people with hi tech weaponry.
