"Great subject and I agree that the best way to fight terrorists is to support, recruit and respect members of particular communities instead of alienating them."


"Excellent! Two points really stand out: 1) Terrorist are trying to provoke government over reaction against particular communities, which means supporting those communities would discredit terrorists. 2) That oversight of the intelligence process has gotten worse, not better since 9/11. Demonstrates that being opposed to terrorism is consistent with supporting the rule of law and securing the rights of everyone."
