@emptywheel But just saying we shouldn't get caught up, only, in how many attacks have been stopped. -
@speechboy71 Yup. Especially since every claim (save 9/11) has served to slight old fashioned detective work and UK help. -
@emptywheel Right, but there are also major steps we've taken since 9/11 that have made it harder to attack the US -
@speechboy71 Though from all the reporting it sounds like the successes we'll get Monday feature a LOT of attacks on allies. -
@emptywheel Ok, well we care about those people too! -
@speechboy71 Just pointing out that other countries face other issues in terms of exposure.
