Paranoia in high places

Intel chair: "Chain" of Iran plots possible - CBS News: "(CBS/AP) WASHINGTON - The alleged plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States was comically amateurish, but the U.S. government believes not only that it was approved at high levels in Tehran but also that it was not the only plot, CBS News correspondent Bill Plante reports.

"There may be a chain of these things," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Wednesday.

I remember when an Senatorial acquaintance of mine who was on the intel committee said that both conventions were terror targets --  back in 2004.

I concluded then and subsequently that these people are prone to paranoia.

I do not doubt that Iran has every reason to do what it does from its perspective. We are not Iran and we do much worse out in the open.

Were all nations alert to the most prophetic voices of all religions, they would lay down their lethal silliness and repent this very day. Anything consciously lethal is evil regardless of who does it.

We should limit our responses to proportional retaliation when lives have actually been taken.
