The recent terrorist threats -- real or bogus?

[Cormac]

Is the threat from Eurasia or Eastasia these days?

Whichever it is, it will turn out that it was always those sonsabitches...

I blame Goldstein.

Well, him or Starnberg...

I'd be inclined to post an opinion on this if only the OP included a news article instead of a whiny and misleading editorial. Looks too much like there's a hook under that worm.

Bugger, you're the best placed person to tell us the score, even within the limits of your gag duty.

I think I have a sane balance of mistrust of authority and power and an equally balanced view of what might and might not be a conspiracy. Of course everybody thinks that, even the metal foil hat brigade.

I am going with there is/was a 'credible threat' in this case.
