We set out to tell the truth when everyone else seemed set on choosing sides. We had grand ideas about how far we could reach. … Back then, we knew we should be careful, but we had no idea how dangerous it would turn out to be.","author":"Sonny and Ais","tags":["cold-war","corruption","danger","exposes","government-agencies","journalists","secret-societies","terrorists","truth","war"],"id":70971,"author_id":"Sonny+and+Ais"},{"text":"The greatest tragedy to ever happen to a nation is not the incidences of war or terrorism.

They see only the openness that has produced Britney Spears and Janet Jackson. They do not see, and do not want to see, the openness - the freedom of thought and inquiry - that has made us powerful, the openness that has produced Bill Gates and Sally Ride. They deliberately define it all as decadence. Because if openness, women's empowerment, and freedom of thought and inquiry are the real sources of the West's economic strength, then the Arab-Muslim world would have to change. And the fundamentalists and extremists do not want to change.","author":"Thomas L.

There were millions of ways that the world could kill me--starting with getting run down by a drunk burning his way down Valencia--that were infinitely more likely and immediate than terrorists. Terrorists kill a lot fewer people than bathroom falls and accidental electrocutions. Worrying about them always struck me as about as useful as worrying about getting hit by lightning.","author":"Cory Doctorow","tags":["danger","death","risk","terrorism","terrorists","worrying"],"id":166426,"author_id":"Cory+Doctorow"},{"text":"Now, with regard to the people who have done things we call 'terrorism,' I'm confident they have been expressing their pain in many different ways for thirty years or more. Instead of our empathically receiving it when they expressed it in much gentler ways -- they were trying to tell us how hurt they felt that some of their most sacred needs were not being respected by the way we were trying to meet our economic and military needs -- they got progressively more agitated. Finally, they got so agitated that it took horrible form.","author":"Marshall B.
