Fighting Terrorists

George W. Bush reveals in his book Decision Points that there were three hundred specific terrorist threats per day during his presidency! I know he wanted us to go on with our "normal" lives, but I also think it would have been better for our nation if the people could have known more about the threats.

Of the thousands of terrorists captured during those seven plus years, only three were waterboarded, and those produced significant information about Al Qaeda. C.I.A. "enhanced interrogation" techniques were used on another thirty terrorists.

I keep thinking of WWII where AMericans "stayed calm and carried on.' Maybe a little sacrifice on our part would have made it easier on Prez Bush. He def took one for us by trying to give us a sense of security. Was it right? Who knows.
