Jihad Jane and the Future of Counter Terrorism

Blazing headlines in the Washington Post today about a loser of a middle-aged woman who declared herself, “Jihad Jane” and embarked on a failed effort to recruit people for unspecified acts of terrorism. She has no military or scientific skill. Certainly not a bombmaker. Just an angry, lost soul. Of course, we have to go on national alert for a crazy bitch like this.
Keep that in mind when you watch the following:
I love this.
We have so many government civil servants ready to fight or capture a terrorist that we easily have at least 1000 government workers dedicated to combating terrorism for single terrorist. Those damn terrorists are not cooperating. Instead of multiplying they are being whacked, imprisioned and disillusioned. But don’t let that stop us from spending (and wasting) billions of dollars to fight terrorists and build enormous bureaucracies while ignoring the fact that there are fewer terrorists today than ten years ago. We need perpetual fear. But hey, we all know why we were attacked on 9-11–we did not have enough government bureacracies and bureaucrats. Let’s just keep scaring the shit out of people and convincing them that they will die unless they let the government torture at will, raise defense spending and surrender civil rights. The way to safety is more government, right?
