The press helps every time it writes scare stories about the plot and the threat. And if we're terrified, and we share that fear, we help.

This is horrific - and yet we somehow consider it normal.

Killing a bunch of people in Sudan and Yemen and Pakistan, it's like, "Who cares - we don't know them." But the current discussion is framed as "When can the President kill an American citizen?"
