Dr. Stephen Levitt, NY Times Visiting Al-Qaeda Professor Of Terror
"Tips For Terror" from the NY Post reacts to the New York Times blog piece by Steven D. Levitt, a University of Chicago economics professor, who offered his best idea on how to wage terror in the US - and asked readers to submit those - which they did by the hundreds.
"Arm 20 terrorists with rifles and cars, and arrange to have them begin shooting randomly at pre-set times all across the country," suggested Levitt - a notion that he credited to his father.

As the editorial correctly noted, Levitt may not find it as funny if his own family were the victim of such an attack - a person that seems to have emerged from the video game simulation underground where digital foes are antiseptically killed and then carried off when the game is over or the machine shut down.
We need some suggestions on how what should be done with such "creative" types - and sell more books as Levitt did with his NY Times bestseller "Freakonomics". Perhaps he could even organize a friends list for cell buddies here and abroad to trade tips.
