What standards will you use?

I already said I would use the SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE standard as the proper risk analysis. The risk of a WMD attack on America by evil person or persons merits taking action before one can prove the threat by a preponderance of the evidence or by clear, cogent or convincing evidence. Others would use a higher standard of evidence including yourself I would guess. Higher standard is safer politically etc but risks an attack like my FDR example. He had substantial evidence of Japan's intentions etc but waited and the attack occured. One cannot wait to see if an attck occurs when WMD is possibly involved.
