...the combatants come from bomb-making terrorist
groups like Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda, or drug smuggling cartels like those

anywhere, anytime to penetrate and disrupt. They all feature network forms
of organization, doctrine, strategy, and technology attuned to the 
information age. And, from the Intifadah to the drug war, they are proving
very hard to beat.
