Al-Qaeda and their ilk make heavy use of satellite communications, cellular technology, and the Internet. How is the NSA 'mostly useless' against this?

[/ QUOTE ] I would guess that they are using the internet, yes -- so they'd know a thing or two about ops like the NSA's!

I would also guess (that's what I'd do anyway) they are communicating outside electronic means. I don't buy all that stuff about sat phones, etcetera. What's the hurry anyway?

At the outside, they would be using (also) electronic means of communication the old fashioned way: to trigger events through innocuous code - rather than exchange info.

Just because you dont "buy all that stuff" doesnt mean it isnt true. It is most assuredly true. And just because they know about NSA ops doesnt mean they have the ability to combat them. The NSA techniques are quite applicable against terrorist organizations such as AQ.
