Sometimes we make these terrorists out to be infallible and they take credit for being unstoppable but in reality they have "feet of clay." This link includes a paper that is worthwhile reading that tells us how some of the terrorist incidents didn't meet all its goals.

In war, each opponent’s effectiveness is judged not only on its military capabilities but on its ability to achieve overall objectives in multiple areas. This scrutiny has been sorely lacking in previous examinations of the overall effectiveness of the terrorist group Al-Qa’ida (AQ). Part of the contributing factor for this has been the media’s tendency to credit AQ with any and all terror related incidents thereby attributing power and means to the terrorists that are non-existent. Despite not exercising direct operational control over the media, AQ is nonetheless well served as the media’s laziness and failure to do proper investigative journalism enhances the terror group’s Information Operation (IO) campaigns.

Fantastic point. We have built these people up to be much more powerful than the are. They are human and as such have foibles and weaknesses that can be exploited.

funny and enlightening. They do "stupid human tricks" just hoping for those virgins. Do they really believe that or are their lives so empty they are cardboard? sad.
