The Terrorists Handbook (7000 pages plus) explains in great detail how to blend into a community to avoid suspicion--everything from shaving beards and putting away the turban for awhile to volunteering to coach a junior league soccer team. Future up-and-coming terrorists are encouraged to become a part of the neighborhood because their missions could take a decade to come to fruition and they have to avoid suspicion for their plan to succeed. Univeristy degrees in biochemistry and microbiology, pilot training and licenses, haz-mat transportation companies and drivers, moving companies, charity fronts, ISPs, travel agencies, medical school and residencies...the ones we know about thus far have taken great pains and lots of years to set up their networks and plan their murderous deeds. Do they have nuclear engineers working in our power plants? Do they have operatives in the officer ranks of our armed forces and current administration? Do we smile a friendly "hello" to someone who is secretly plotting our demise? Surely.

I think tit for tat could be in order. Certainly in our great country there are more than a few CIA operatives who would be willing to inculcate themselves in the Islamic culture, pretending to be a terrorist, and slowly work their way up the ranks. Eventually I am sure we will have Mullahs On The Ground in every country.

Therein lies one of our greatest disadvantages in this asymetric war. We do NOT have young CIA officers who speak perfect local Arabic or Pashtun, who are willing to spend years with no women, no booze, no TV, but only sleeping in filthy blankets on cold ground, with intestinal diseases from the bad food and water, for the small chance of "rising through the ranks".

And if compromised and captured, the agent-in-place's torture death would take many days of screaming horror and agony. So no, we do not and will not have our own American agents within the islamic terrorist movement.

OTOH, these girl mutilating goat sodomizers can just fly or walk in to the USA, move to a house down your street, (paid for by ??), and we are forced by our own govt to "cherish their unique contribution to our diverse and multicultural society".

They need to prove their loyalty to the USA over the international moslem ummah, or they need to be expelled.
