@4tis You're suggesting that by asking questions I'm knee jerk responding. Ergo you must have a problem with simple questions.

@emptywheel Is that not your position? Or do you it does have some benefit, just not 100% effective? -
@4tis No, it's the position you pulled out of you ass to ascribe to me. -
@emptywheel Could you clarify your position? -
@4tis My "position" is an observation that increasingly terrorists who attack have been tracked, but not stopped. -
@emptywheel Do you think that it is realistic to expect *all* attacks by tracked potential terrorists to be stopped? -
@4tis Sorry. Your position is? It's your turn to answer my q, before you invent more caricatures out of thin air. -
@emptywheel if you accept that any system will fail to catch 100% of attacks then we shouldn't be surprised that events like this happen. -
@4tis So maybe you should just apologize for mischaracterizing my views and go on your little way? - 5 more replies

@emptywheel You seemed to be suggesting that the "dragnet", as you called it, was pointless because it failed to stop those attacks. -
@4tis I did no such thing. I asserted that none were stopped, in spite of dragnet (as many knowledgeable people call it). That's true. -
@emptywheel Which goes back to my point about vaccination. -
@4tis Or my point about how there's too much hay in the haystack, which is more apt, and which many people have observed.
