One common thread I have noticed in all this is how eerily close the actual events and threats are with plots in Tom Clancy novels. If you read Executive Orders, the story begins with an airliner crashing into the Capitol. The novel Sum of All Fears ends with a detonation of a nuclear bomb at the Super Bowl.

Our best long term hope is to work with intelligence agencies in Israel and Great Britain to send in special forces where these animals live, and covertly kill them.

I remember one story where the Mossoud knew that a terrorist was living on the 6th floor of an apartment complex somewhere in the Mideast. Mossoud swooped in and killed EVERYONE on the 6th floor within 30 seconds and left. I believe our CIA probably has similar plans in the works. Let's hope so.
