The current project has benefited a great deal from the insights of Tito Karnavian, Noor Huda Ismail, Taufik Andrie, Dina Afrianty, Jamhari Makruf, Al Chaidar, Nasir Abbas, Kamarulnizam Abdullah, and Rommel Banlaoi. I would also like to especially thank Tito for using his good offices to enable me to have face-to-face discussions with both incarcerated and former Indonesian militants. I must also declare an intellectual debt to Sidney Jones, Greg Fealy, Tony Bubalo, Bilveer Singh, Mark Woodward and Greg Barton, whose ideas have long had a significant influence on my thinking about Southeast Asian militancy and terrorism.
