In the Sixty Minutes interview, you will read, “Like so many terrorists around the world, the bombers learned their trade in Afghanistan. Hundreds of militants from Southeast Asia traveled there in the 1980's to defend Islam against the Soviet occupiers. They trained as Mujahideen in a rugged camp, which Abas calls a military academy.”
I highly suggest that you read this entire Sixty Minutes interview to see the intelligence behind this terrorist organization. But, getting back to the stupidity of our own government, this was brought up within that interview by Sidney Jones, “Unlike the United States, which lets these people linger forever in Guantanamo or elsewhere, the Indonesian government has tried every single terrorist suspect in open and public trials in a way that serves as an incredible public information tool,"
Jones is “International Crisis Group, who has been tracking Jemaah Islamiyah for the last ten years” As a result of these open trials, Indonesian government “have made 300 arrests, and have held dozens of open trials. More than 100 hundred men have been convicted; three are on death row.” But, we have the Patriot Act in which our alleged detainees are being held indefinitely and one wonders what tools our government has learned from them if any. What information has local law enforcement been able to learn to help them detect terrorist cells?
