I find it odd that whenever some plot or terror cell is foiled or discovered its through the efforts of law enforcement and intelligence agencies NOT the military. Yet we keep hearing about the "globalal war on terror" in conventional military and combat terms. Thompson is just parroting (I hate to use that term because my two macaws are clearly more intelligent than the people robotically repeating this nonsence) George Bush. I really don't think at this point the american people are in the mood for 4 more years of this failed policy fronted by a different clueless President.
Then again, people were horrified when John Kerry suggested terror was best combated by law enforcement, so maybe Knox Pooley is just what the public wants.
