Interesting rebuttal:

Interesting article by Schneier. But the rebuttal..I spent 5 mins (trying)
to read it and couldn't understand anything he said - it sounds like
complete gibberish. Can someone please summarize it in English?
Terror as a means to rule, rather than as a groupthink / social bonding
exercise. The guy is actually right (though he loses points by shamelessly
plugging his book, and writing incomprehensibly). And schneier should stick
to information security and quit pontificating about terrorism.
