I believe you misunderstood the comment to which you are replying.
Your argument is that the cases and events we hear of and know of are disastrous at best. Parent is stating that there is a very large bias in what cases and events we hear of, to the point where a lack of visibility into the data makes meaningful analysis impossible.
- Zigurd 11y agoNo, seriously, are you telling me that the lame-ass prosecutions and ginned-up FBI cases are hiding valor and competency keeping us safe from terrist supervillains?? That's a hell of a good cover story. I was totally convinced.
- Karunamon 11y agoAre you telling me those cases (which we disagree on the validity of, BTW) are the only ones that exist?
- Zigurd 11y agoAre there secret trials in the US? Secret extra-judicial punishments? If not, then yeah, those are the cases the FBI decided deserved their resources.
- Kalium 11y agoFailures are loud. Intelligence successes are generally silent. There's literally no way for us to know. It's unwise to assert a universal negative in the face of the unknowable.
- Zigurd 11y agoYou are also asserting that there is a secret system of successful criminal investigation and punishment of terrorists, INSIDE the US, separate, and vastly more competent the the visible cases the FBI has publicized. You are confusing "24" with reality.
- Kalium 11y agoI am not, have not, and shall not assert any such thing. I bid you good day.
