The Great Glenn Greenwald

Unclaimed Territory - by Glenn Greenwald: Putting the terrorist threat into perspective:

"All of this seems obvious at this point. The total number of Americans killed by Islamic terrorists in the last 5 years -- or 10 years -- or 20 years -- or ever -- is roughly 3,500, the same number of deaths by suicide which occur in this country every month. This is the overarching threat around which we are constructing our entire foreign policy, changing the basic principles of our government, and fundamentally altering both our behavior in the world and the way in which we are perceived."

Read the whole post. It's brilliant which seems to have become Greenwald's norm.
