Why does everyone assume that these guys are idiots. They DO not live in caves. Some DID go to some of the best schools in the world.

Yes, the shoe bomber and Padilla were idiots. We know that because they got caught. However, the guys who took over and flew the 757's were clearly not idiots. Sucidal maniacs yes, idiots no.

We have to stop thinking of these guys as mentally inferior and as bumbling idiots. They are cunning, dedicated, and focused.

If they are so stupid, how come a mere drop of a note on a web site and a few phone calls has started a thread with nearly 4,000 messages on it.

No, they are not stupid. Underestimating your opponent is a bad thing. Ask the boys from Oklahoma who will be playing for second place on January 4th. The underestimated Kansas and got their butts whooped.
