Jeff Stein reported in the
Times
on a remarkable ignorance of the enemy. Stein has been
asking ―Washington counterterrorism officials
―Do you know the
difference between a Sunni and a Shīite?‖
After what appears to have been a serious investigation, he concluded
that:
most American officials I‘ve interviewed don‘t have a clue.
That
includes not just intelligence and law enforcement officials, but also members of Congress
who have important roles overseeing our spy agencies….
Too many officials in charge
of the war on terrorism just don‘t care to learn much, if anything, about
the enemy we‘re
fighting
