Being in federal law enforcement for 27 years, including over 5 years on a Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), I’ve seen a lot.

The current posture toward North Korea is reminiscent of a recent conversation with a fellow JTTF member about the fairly recent venture to allow 19,000 Saudi Nationals into the U.S. on student VISA’s. After expressing my concern about that venture, the response was, “We know all of their names and their addresses.” I felt compelled to visit the nearest “water cooler” down the street.

The same rationale appears to apply to Kim Jong Il by our Secretary of State: “We know his name and his address.” Apparently, not much else I might add.

Once again, I feel compelled to visit the nearest “water cooler” (or is it the nearest “cooling tower”?) down the street.
