We can never catch all of them as you've rightly concluded.<BR/>The JI network, like most terrorist networks, consists of 2 levels or structures.<BR/>A) The active field operatives like M S and others hell-bent on killing or blowing up the world.<BR/>B) The sympathisers...those fringe players who provide all kinds of aid to their evil cause but who take no active "cowboy" action themselves because they are untrained and may let down the org easily when captured.<BR/>The vast majority in the network are in the "B" group.<BR/>But therein lies the DANGER. Most are not known to the govt. No files on them as they are not overt operatives like MS, Hambali, Dulmatin and such.<BR/>After WW2, the new German govt kept files on more than 90,000 known,documented NAZI war criminals. Vast thousands more were not in the files and continued to live, some even reached to high up positions in govt holding top posts, in many sectors. <BR/>Only a tiny percentage of these vast numbers of evil men were ever caught and brought to justice...to answer for their crimes of atrocities and murder.<BR/>Simon Wiesenthal....the most famous of all the NAZI Hunters, started a centre all by himself to gather and collaborate info on the most high profile case first. He had much success such as catching Adolf Eichmann in Argentina! Eichmann was executed in Israel after trail around 1961/2.<BR/> The v v good movie, "The Odessa File" around 1974,tells a compelling true story about those who were never caught and continue their secret links and network, even today.<BR/>No govt can presume to know all there is to know!Unk Dickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050766265321887439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249019585569184552.post-32868414952296170232008-03-06T15:53:00.000+08:002008-03-06T15:53:00.000+08:00Yeah I think your reasoning sounds very logical. V...Yeah I think your reasoning sounds very logical. Very likely there are more of them out there and the govt knows. If you go to a field and manage to catch a couple of big grass hoppers and some more tiny ones, chances are that there are more that evaded capture.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249019585569184552.post-62919664159220832662008-03-06T13:25:00.000+08:002008-03-06T13:25:00.000+08:00Hi C See, Thanks for asking. It is not about"...Hi C See, Thanks for asking. It is not about"buying or not buying the govt,s view" on both the points you mentioned. I<BR/>It is about THE DANGER OF ASSUMING TOO MUCH as has been shown in the 9/11 attack in the USA, Pearl Harbour in WW2 etc.<BR/>The suicide pilots who hijacked those planes went for flying lessons in USA flying schools! Most had terrorist background. So many instances of red alert signals were detected by CIA field operatives about these suspicious chaps "out of the blue" learning flying, and coupled with their background...signalled a DANGER category alert.<BR/>But what happened?<BR/>The detailed reports by these field officers, who were 100% correct in their assessment[ with hindsight]...were pigeonholed!<BR/>Their accurate reports of potential DANGER never went beyond their immediate superiors...who had ASSUMED TOO MUCH[ that there was no danger].<BR/>If those suicide pilots, were pulled in and thoroughly interrogated 9/11 would never have occured. So many thousands of lives lost all wasted because a handful of incompetent officers HAD ASSUMED TOO MUCH!<BR/>And if M Selamat is not a danger why then has the authorities conducted the searches in such a massive, overwhelming fashion?<BR/>Posters everywhere, elite Gurkhas units, elite Police units, SAF, auxillary forces, tracker dogs,...all by the thousands. <BR/>Why indeed?<BR/>The answer is obvious.Unk Dickohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07050766265321887439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249019585569184552.post-260399686805323522008-03-06T11:12:00.000+08:002008-03-06T11:12:00.000+08:00It looks like you do not buy the Govt's story that...It looks like you do not buy the Govt's story that:<BR/><BR/>a) Mas Selamat is acting alone;<BR/>b) He is not a danger to the public.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.com
