Summary of Marc Sageman's book Understanding Terror Networks offers some interesting information for any Jack who wants to learn to think like the people we're supposed to be mixin' it up with. The current assignment is to try to recognize upcoming dates that are relevant to the history of Islam, and offer targets that correspond with the modus operandi of these al Qaida cells.

French independence is celebrated on July 14th. Should the French be on higher alert for that week this summer?
