I wouldn't say they were particularly bright.

Arab culture is to deny the obvious. It's been that way for a long time.

Just look at Baghdad Bob...

I wouldn't say they were particularly bright.

I would say that men such as OBL, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, Mohammed Atta, etc. are/were particularly bright. Evil and monstrous, of course. But highly intelligent, also.

I just don't believe we do ourselves any good in assuming they're all morons.

Baghdad Bob is a different animal.
