IN THE NEWS
I really, really hope what we're reading here is just the typical brain fart that occurs in brainstorming sessions. In this case, the conversation might have gone something like...
DISCUSSION LEADER: OK, let's hear some creative ideas about how to fight terrorists. Anything at all. I'll just write them up here on the white board, and we can pick them apart later.
PARTICIPANT: Uhhh, I know this sounds crazy, but I have an idea. Since the terrorists are hiding from us everywhere but Iraq, maybe we could lure some of them into attacking the United States? That way, once they stick their heads up, we can lop them off.
DISCUSSION LEADER: Um...Er...[Pauses for a long time, struggling over what to say.] I'll just write it down and we can discuss it later.
PARTICIPANT: How about hiring Tom Clancy to advise us? He sure writes some good airline reading.
DISCUSSION LEADER: All right...Any other ideas? Any at all?
