So then narrow the focus on what a real terrorist is and let the world know we will go after them. But if a terrorist is posing as a butcher, a baker or a candlestick maker, then we go after them too. Not all of them of course. Terrorists do fit a profile, we just profile them and go after those who fit that profile. Remember Sesame Street? One of these things doesn't belong, one of these things is different from the other. Go after what is different. That is how we do it here. The insurgent may look like the locals, and dress like the locals and act like the locals, but they fit a certain profile, their subtleties still stand out. We learn their TTP's and act on this new knowledge, find them, and capture or kill them (I prefer the latter actually, then we do not have to worry about detaining them and giving them rights, and a lot less paperwork to boot).
