re: #83 Charles

I don’t think that it’s all that clear. I think he meant it was an isolated incident. While I’m not “outraged” at his use of the term, there is no denying that the administration is not looking at the threat in terms of “war” but rather in terms of “crime.” Electing to try KSM in federal court is all you need to know on the mindset. I think using the term “isolated” gives us a glimpse of this mindset even though he obviously didn’t mean the terrorist acted alone.
