Groups Compared
Exhibit B5 permits a rough comparison of the two terrorist Iraqi groups with Afghan Al
Qaeda and Heaven‘s Gate. As was shown in Exhibit A, a 5 rating is characteristic of a
psychologically abusive group and a 1 rating is not at all characteristic. Of the four groups I
rated, Heaven‘s Gate is the highest on Compliance, Mind Control and Dependency, and
lowest on Exploitation. All but Heaven‘s Gate were high on Exploitation. Mind Control is
characteristic of all four groups in my judgment.
