Chris Hitchens Hits the Nail on its Head

Chris Hitchens explains the essence of our "anti-terror" efforts:

Why do we fail to detect or defeat the guilty, and why do we do so well at collective punishment of the innocent? The answer to the first question is: Because we can't—or won't. The answer to the second question is: Because we can.

With 'public servants' as feckless as these, why do we need enemies? And we pay these guys on average twice as much as private employees? They're not worth even half as much as a non-tax-eater.
