Michael Ledeen makes an excellent point. This “lone wolf” description of Islamists who commit atrocities on innocent civilians is false.

It doesn’t really matter what you call them, because they’re figments of the “expert” imagination. The legend-mavens tell us that there are “normal” Americans (this part is very important) who somehow just go bad, and turn into murderous terrorists. There is no foreign input, no alien country or intelligence service, no global conspiracy. The terrorists are homegrown and they are on their own. Lone wolves.

It’s not so.

Here’s the piece.
