Quotation of the Day for September 5, 2015"A decade of fear-mongering has brought power and wealth to those who have been most skillful at hyping the terrorist threat. Fear sells. Fear has convinced the White House and Congress to pour hundreds of billions of dollars -- more money than anyone knows what to do with -- into counterterrorism and homeland security programs, often with little management or oversight, and often to the detriment of the Americans they are supposed to protect. Fear is hard to question. It is central to the financial well-being of countless federal bureaucrats, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, analysts, and pundits. Fear generates funds." - James Risen, journalist, in his 2014 book Pay Any Price: Greed, Power, and Endless War. Submitted by: Mike Krawchuk Sep. 4, 2015  |
