How many of these terrorists have been caught and charged? Has anyone noticed what religion and from what country they come from.
Virtually all of these terrorists are Muslims born in Pakistan. Maybe we should actually do profiling to catch more of them?

An Ashburn man who federal prosecutors said plotted to “kill as many Americans as possible” by bombing Washington Metro stations was sentenced Monday to 23 years in prison.
Farooque Ahmed, 35, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan, pleaded guilty to two terrorism-related charges in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. Federal authorities said Ahmed conspired with people he thought were al-Qaeda operatives to bomb Metrorail stations at Arlington Cemetery, Pentagon City, Crystal City and Court House. In reality, he was dealing with people working for the U.S. government.
“Ahmed admitted he was determined to kill as many Americans as possible,” said U.S. Attorney Neil H. MacBride. “It’s chilling that a man from Ashburn pleaded guilty to these terrorist acts.”
In the courtroom, where Ahmed’s wife sat near the back with family and friends, Judge Gerald Bruce Lee said:
“The looming question is why?”Ahmed, with a full salt-and-pepper beard and glasses and wearing a green prison jumpsuit, stood before the judge and tried to explain.
“I can not describe the words . . ., ” he said, his voice trailing off.
“All I can say is I’m sorry. It was the wrong action.”In the 45-minute hearing, Ahmed pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization and collecting information to assist in planning a terrorist attack on a transit facility.
The judge called the charges “grave,” and said he considered the plans a “real threat to working people who use Metro every day.” Lee also gave Ahmed 50 years of supervised release.
According to court documents, Ahmed “surveilled, photographed, videotaped, diagramed” and helped gather information to plan “multiple bombings to cause mass casualties” at Metrorail stations.
Ahmed met at Northern Virginia hotels with individuals posing as al-Qaeda members. He delivered computer flash drives of his Metro station surveillance, provided details of the entrances and layouts, made written diagrams, and gave suggestions on where to place explosives at each location to kill the most people.
The best time to stage an attack and cause the most casualties, Ahmed said, would be between 4 and 5 p.m., according to court documents. He said he wanted to “kill as many military personnel as possible,” and suggested an attack on the Crystal City Metro stop, which is heavily used by those in the military.

Apparently he did not want to admit that the reason he wanted to do it was because his religion told him that he should kill as many 'infidels' as he can in this lifetime... I think 20 years is way too little for these kinds of monsters...
