I don&#x27;t think it is that simple. Just assume that you yourself is a government official like a Brennan.<p>So, people expect you to protect them and make sure that no terrorist attacks happen. So, how exactly do you do that?<p>You mention some formulas that &quot;worked&quot; in the past, I don&#x27;t think they worked - so many people died at the hands of RAF and IRA. And the times have changed, some of these old formulas do not work anymore - people can communicate without meeting in person.<p>So, what do you propose Brennan should do? Honest question.
