Threats in a connected world

This is an interesting article from The New Yorker. I got the article from a colleague earlier today, and took a cursory look at it. Other than the obvious point about Dick Clarke bloviating again, I continue to reserve my opinion on the article until I have read it all carefully, which I intend to do this weekend.

Obama : The Country We Believe In

A speech by The President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, on April 13, 2011 at Goerge Washington University... Good afternoon.  It’s great to be back at GW.  I want you to know that one of the reasons I kept the government open was so I could be here today with all of you.  I wanted to make sure you had one more excuse to skip class.  You’re welcome.
