How many times since the Holocaust, or the attrocities of the Khmer Rouge, or 9-11, have we wondered what was going through the minds of Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot or Osama Bin Laden?

He's analyzed the minds of al Qaeda terrorists and the language they use, and the CIA turned to Professor Harre to help explain why people become terrorists. (22′06″)
