No one followed? Methinks you aren't paying attention. All those foreigners streaming into Iraq have followed. The Morroccans trying to mount attacks have followed. Idiots like Richard Reid have followed. Despite the "3/4" numbers being bandied about, I'd go dollars to doughnuts he has more adherents today than 2 years ago.

Mostly pre-9/11 recruits. No new ones I've seen, except to the attribution of Syria and Saudi efforts in Iraq - not Osama's call but geopolitical (Syria) and oil pricing (Saudi, Iran) strategies to upset Iraq.

Moroccans? I don't see anything proving there's been more or less recruiting before or after 9/11. Anyway, the terrs ideology is grander than what Bush does or not.

Left, right, doesn't make a lick of difference to religious totalitarians.

That I agree with - eg, Blair and Bush.

"Moroccans? I don't see anything proving there's been more or less recruiting before or after 9/11."

Spaniards probably think otherwise.

Can you tell us where you get your data on the sign-up dates for terrorists? Is it like going to their home page on FR? You seem to know when they all joined up.
