• yea, thats the problem. the government sees what terrorists have done, then guard against these things, when most likely, they will change their methods next time.

    yeah, but the terrorists would not change their methods if there was no “guard against these things”.


  • given, but they should think ahead, and guard against other things as well


  • @cystic:

    also an article about it in today’s NY Times.
    the point is that a man was able to “import” a SAM and sell it to an undercover agent posing as Al Queda. Had this been real Al Queda, and had it been a working SAM, then there could be a whole lot 'o mischief . . . .

    Well, it seems like without the help of the US and Russian services, the guy would have neither been able to “import” it or even get his hands on it abroad.

    @TG:

    Correctly if I’m not following this correctly, but the FBI agents sold a Brit a SAM that didn’t work? Uh… I don’t exactly make the connection to the blow against terrorism here.

    Close. And the thing is exactly that there is no blow against terrorism that is sold as a blow against terrorism.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that a good thing?
