Asian terrorist a master hypnotist?

I was always wondering what kind of belief system is really driving suicide bombers. Religeous beliefs is one thing of course, but to blow yourself up is pretty heavy.

Now, an Australian newspaper publishes an article that suggests that one of the top terrorists in the region, Noordin Top, is using "hypnosis to elude capture and recruit more suicide bombers."

It is possible, that is sure. It is also possible that the so-called sleeper cells in other countries are pre-programmed to operate as suicide bombers at a given command. It is possible for the hypnosist to instill commands in the person that can be activated at a later stage. This is done during the hypnosis process with the intention to shorten the induction cycle for the next session. Normally, it can take a while for someone to go into hypnotic stage and in order to shorten the cycle, the hypnotherapist might instill a command that shortens the timeframe. This is simply more effective for both sides. Normally, a person can only be hynothised when the will to be hypnothised is there. A positive attitude. In the sense of the article, it is possible that Noordin instilled the secondary command without the knowledge of the persons - an awful intention!

To misuse hypnosis in such a manner is simply awful, because in itself, hypnosis in itself is a powerful tool to change limited beliefs into more powerful resources. Imagine what good you can do with hypnosis. Things like more confidence, to stop smoking, lose weight, and so on - all possible, but only if the person really wants to change. To misuse hypnosis is just making it more difficult for those with a positive intention to help those who want help.
