STEVE STURM EMAILS ON ABLE DANGER: “I know you haven’t been a big follower of the whole matter, and I’m starting to see why you’re probably the better for it.”
As I’ve said before, my pre-9/11 view was that we were best off treating Islamist terrorism as a law-enforcement matter, but otherwise trying to ignore it until it collapsed under the weight of its inherent idiocy. That was wrong, but it’s hard for me to blame the Clinton folks for seeing things the way that I did — except when, occasionally, they pretend otherwise.
