I think the idea that terrorists are uneducated comes from the Palastinian suicide bombers who, according to many reports I've heard, are indoctrinated from poor Palastinian families with promises of untold pleasures after death.
The terrorists in the sleeper cells and so on are a different breed. Highly intelligent so they can aquire the skills to enable them to blend into other foreign societies.
It just seems such a waste. To spend all that time to become doctors, and the world needs more doctors, only to throw away all the potential healing and good that could have been done.
