    What a terrorist is not

    A terrorist is not a high-clearance military research scientist.

    If a terrorist is not middle eastern and has to be an American, then it has to be a drug or alcohol-abusing, sex-crazed psychopath.

    The story, at its simplest: an American-sourced bioweapon was unleashed by an American, possibly one working at a supposedly secure military bioweapons facility, contributing to the genesis of the so-called "war" on "terror".

    Doesn't really play into the epic war of civilization crap, does it? We have found the existential threat - and he is us.
