It's happened, you just don't hear about them.
- jcromartie 16y agoWhy not? Wouldn't it be better for the government's PR situation to let us know that they are catching real terrorists instead of just prodding and handholding incompetent fools? Maybe I don't understand anti-terrorism... but why trot out these phony stings and make the public think that these are just a bunch of incompetent over-hyped organizations (and I mean terrorist and intelligence alike)? If we are supposed to be suspicious and wary, wouldn't it be beneficial to have something really scary to feed the public?
- ohashi 16y agoWhat good would that do? Make you feel your tax dollars were hard at work while you realize you almost got nuked yesterday?
- dhimes 16y agoDepends. It doesn't require too much imagination to conceive of scenarios where the present course is better. Besides, the public was fed scary shit for political manipulation. But that doesn't mean that the other isn't true. But I've said all I'm going to say on that.
- burgerbrain 16y agoBullshit, such claims require evidence, I won't accept that on faith, and neither should you.
- dhimes 16y agoI don't.
- anonymous246 16y agoSo you have evidence?
