Shows the crassness of our political class that he wants to write such book.

From my small amount of contact with the intelligence (sic) class, the self importance level was off-putting. The work attracts people of such a nature, and the culture reinforces it.

…Enemies, at Home and Abroad

These Home enemies, are they al Qaeda et al walking our streets, or regular Americans who vote for the wrong people by Brennan’s dictates?

Then you manage to make a side swipe comment about gun ownership. Only despicable liberals like him could include terrorists and bill of rights liberties in the same statement.

Ordinary assassinations and/or relatively low level terrorism did not make it into the newspapers and TV news. A Spectacular such as a bomb or similar is too big for the news agencies to ignore and definitely makes prime time TV and the front page.

Without the oxygen of publicity for their “cause” they cannot exert political pressure. So expect to see this type of terrorism continuing because it is successful, at least in their own view and the politicians wanting to “DO SOMETHING” will allow them to steer the politicians towards capitulating to their demands.

Terrorism employs the cruder sorts of fear. More subtle enemies use more subtle forms of fear. But they all want us too afraid to resist.

Fear God, and fear the laws of physics, but do not fear men, and do not fear what men tell you to fear.
