Obsessed with terrorism
Seems to me that the US are massively obsessed with terrorism fears (well done politicians and media!).
Do yourself a favour and compare the number of terrorism victims in the US with victims of domestic gun crimes, car accidents and drug abuse. Each of those categories have a higher number of fatalaties than terrorism on US soil ever will.

I'm not suggesting that we should ignore terrorism altogether, but at the moment the fear of it is way out of proportion, if a simple FOI request can get you into court. There are far bigger other problems than our governments want us to believe. Terrorism obviously is a nice distraction from purely domestic issues which can't be pinned on anybody outside.
