Description: Former CIA adviser Jeffrey Beatty explains that there are multiple types of operatives and planners in al Qa'ida -- some who want to hit "home runs" and those who believe in "death by a thousand cuts." He argues that we must be prepared for the big threat and the small threat all at the same time. He also reminds us that there is a "learning curve" involved in new tactics and that we should prepare to see failures refined into successes.
