Question Anti-terrorism representatives: Does the job require first had experience?

I just read an interesting story.
Does having a first-hand terror 'experience' bring something to the table for diplomats or other national representatives, working with other nations where radicalism/extremeism and trerrorism is both a domestic and international problem?

A credibility enhancer.

Terrorism envoy's close calls[SMH]

AS AUSTRALIA'S new envoy for international counter-terrorism, Bill Paterson has an impeccable - albeit undesirable - credential: he has twice been present when terrorists have struck.
