“Making Jihobbyists our New Secret Weapon in Combating Jihobbyism”
SNIPPET: “If there’s one thing I’ve learned about jihadis in my career it’s this: they are our secret weapon in the fight against jihadis. Think about it: who knows al-Qaida better than…al-Qaida. And what’s more, they are more than happy to point us in the directions of their weaknesses. All we’ve needed to to do is ask.”
SNIPPET: “The fact is that we have more to gain by taking the jihadi ideology and its promulgators on directly than we do sitting on our hands, letting them run the discursive show. Unfortunately, this is a strategy that, as a nation, we have been reticent to execute. It’s not that we don’t have our own pitbulls. It’s just bureacracies tend to keep them muzzled and tightly leashed for sake of not rocking the boat. Ironically, it is precisely that boat rocking that exposes their vulnerabilities and knocks them on the defensive.”
