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.

Bill Paterson has twice been present when terrorists have struck.
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.

If you believe that the real decisions are taken within a personal level, it does. If you believe that the structures of the states are so strong that a single person can't influence them, it doesn't.
Even if it brings a lot of credibility, I don't believe that in this position, a person has a lot of power. This topic is talked and treated within higher levels than him; he just works as a publicity stunt.

Anti-terrorism jobs in the US seem to have only one requirement: a pulse.
