Interesting theory. Where did you come up with that? (Resources?)

I doubt its validity because why would small groups of terrorists migrate into a hot zone filled with an entire armed force ready to fire on them? That goes against their cowardice nature of striking the unarmed and unprepared.

On Boyles, meh. It would only affect me if his replacement is inadequate. I am sure he will find work.
