Your bitter-sounding accusation was so peculiarly insulting that I just reread my post to see how it could be interpreted as "ultra-aggressive." It couldn't, Cobalt Blue. In fact, the post was almost entirely quotes, directly pasted, in quotation marks, straight from the article! Here is the sum total of my own words. There aren't many of them. Would you please tell me which of my contributions to that post are "ultra-aggressive"? Here they are: (1) I hope you are not contemptuous of planning by the Pentagon for worst case scenarios. I sure as hell hope they're doing such planning for the terrorist threat. (2) (The midrange case of abrupt change is the focus of the Pentagon study.)... 3) Here are some quotes from page one. (You posted a link to page two):... 4) (IMO, a plausible danger as dire as the one described in the Pentagon report (the mid-range version was examined) shouldn't be handled the way flight schools were before 9/11. As the Report suggests, "it is time to recognize it as a national security concern.") 5) From page three: That's it. All the rest was direct quotation from the article. One sentence from the article I bolded: "It is time to recognize it as a national security concern." Which is the "ultra-aggressive" part, Cobe? Maybe your emotions represent a projection phenomenon. Check the remarks of mine against the post to which this is a response.
