Terrorism: Hastert Bolds A Message

It's not too difficult to read the pregnant message in the following statement from House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL). And the bolding is his staff's -- not ours.

"The disruption of this terror scheme follows a number of great successes that America and its allies have had against those looking to do us harm. Today's victory serves as a vivid and shocking reminder that we must always be vigilant in fighting the Global War on Terror. Freedom is never free, and we must never be complacent in defending it."

Didn't the Brits break this up? Ponyboy Blair had to brief Dumbo on it this morning

Or, there's another way to look at it like this. Suppose the war on terror as been conducted completely wrong. Then you can interpret the events as we have done nothing to quell the violence as a matter of fact the violence has increased since we focused on the war on terror. Therefore, one could conclude that our tactics have increased the violence and made more jihadists.

Where's the Outrage?
