Terrorists are people. They do not terrorize 100% of the time. Many of them have families. Some of them have high IQs. They realize that if they are not careful with their terrorizing, they just might wind up losing their lives and their livelihood.

It is often difficult to tell a terrorist from someone who is not. A terrorist lives a normal life to gain the trust of people around him. Often, he is like a "sleeper" agent, like one sent in by a foreign government to await just the right moment to strike.

To accomplish their goals, terrorists must be shrewd. They must be patient. They must be careful. And they must be good actors and actresses. And on top of that, they must gain positions where they have the advantage, so that they have the greatest amount of success in their terrorizing. THAT'S WHY SO MANY TERRORISTS HAVE SNEAKED INTO POSITIONS OF POWER IN GOVERNMENT AND THE MILITARY.
