What Casey said about cells not originating with Islamic terrorism is interesting too, though not surprising.

I did a big long study on Dostoevsky's BEST novel (I swear), <I>Demons</I>, which was based on the real life revolutionary anarchist Sergei Nechaev and his cells of terror bombers.

One day, and keep in mind again this is 9 years ago, he was talking about how you infiltrate/fight/defeat a much more powerfull enemy.

Au revoir, Foucault; the Holocaust happened.<BR/><BR/>Maybe that's a little hyperbolic; what I mean to ask is, "Who gets to write history?"
