The Thin Line Blew

The Thin Line Blew - How a hurricane turned citizens into criminals. By William Saletan:

"When I see federal officials bragging that they were well-prepared for Katrina because they've been organizing for terrorist attacks, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. In a terrorist attack, the human dynamics will be far worse. That's why they call it 'terrorism.' The terrorists won't have to inflict most of the deaths directly. They'll just hit us with a dirty bomb to start the panic. We'll do the rest."
