RS had a huge article about Gen. Stanly McCrystal that brought him down...

the writer just recently died in a strange flaming car crash...not that I am suggesting any connection between the two...

but RS has from time to time had some hard hitting news. not often mind you but every once in a while.

has anyone actually read the article? it is interesting and scary.

i cant figure out what RS was trying to do with the cover, but IF the goal was to point out that home grown terror doesnt look like some middle east monster we all imagine, then I dont have an issue. In fact, it is instructive. It's something we all need to consider.


Here is a quote about kids like Jahar from the article.

"The problem with this demographic is that they do not know the basic narratives of their histories – or really any narratives," he says. "They're blazed on pot and searching the Internet for any 'factoids' that they believe fit their highly de-historicized and decontextualized ideologies. And the adult world totally misunderstands them and dismisses them – and does so at our collective peril," he adds.



scary.
