"Pre-emptive Striking" II

[Mr. Shaman]

Does this mean "the terrorists" have (already) won?

​

"Bruce Schneier, author of "Secrets and Lies" and other books on security technology, criticized the DARPA idea as "un-American" and a police state ploy.

"This is what a police state does -- everyone watching what everyone does and the police watching your every move," Schneier told CNN in a telephone interview. "And what we learn from history is that police states never work. It never is safer."

He added, "We are American. We don't spy on everybody else. And as a security guy, it works great in the movies but in real life you aren't going to be any safer. ... The false claims are going to kill you."

We have pretty much responded exactly the way the terrorists wanted us to.

Fear and actions to further fuel terrorist activities against us.
Plus lots of money spent.
