I thought I was going crazy -- the media's shift to "all Quaida all the time" has been so sharp and so pronounced that I thought I must be dreaming.
It is so unspeakably dangerous. It is the cornerstone of a belief system that we really are engaged in a fight to the death with those who would kill us. No society can be led to prolonged war without a belief that it is needed for survival.
If we are able to derail those who would have us fighting "islamic extremism" for decades, it will be in no small part due to the efforts of people like Glenn Greenwald who had the temerity to point out that the emperor in fact has no clothes.
