We haven't had an attack in five years. The perception of the threat is so low in this society that it's not surprising that the behavior pattern reflects a low threat assessment. The same thing's in Europe, there's a low threat perception. The correction for that, I suppose, is an attack." (More here.) The threat assessment is high, Mr. Rumsfeld, but the threat is a domestic one: authoritarian assholes like you who think the country needs more death and destruction in order to "save" it.
