08/09/2006: "Terrorists and traitors (updated)"


Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing posts this summary of and link to a report detailing why being fearful of terrorism is both unfounded and helpful to the terrorists. Politicians and news agencies who try to convince us we are at risk from terrorists have handed them exactly they want, and as such are traitors, not patriots.

Update: This article in Reason makes many of the same points.
