Did you catch that bit they've been playing over and over on CBS where
some 60 minutes reported was hanging out with one of those Al Qadim
(sorry, don't know how to spell) terrorists talking about how easy it
would be to blow up the White House?  Very calmly, he said:  "It would
take maximum one or two lives."

Then something to the effect of "Easy to find for the cause".

To me, it takes much more courage to live than to die.  The only
redeeming factors I give the Japanese at PH is the fact they had their
own return address painted on the sides of the planes.  

My two pence worth.
