John Mohammed and Lee Malvo certainly wouldn’t be considered by analysts as any more than a loser and a psycho kid. Yet using nothing more than a cheap .22 rifle and a beater Chevy, these two terrorized everyone from Baltimore to Richmond for 3 weeks in 2002. They only got caught because the kid got cocky and kept goading the police. We had the “best experts” on the cable news nightly profiling people who had no resemblance to the two killers.

I’m not all that comforted by the opinions of “experts” who say our enemies lack sophistication.

Don’t forget another “expert” former CIA agent who said in July of 2001 that the threat of Islamic terrorism was overblown to nearly non-existent. That agent was Larry Johnson.
