Sing along with me now: “Who dat? Who dat?” 
This interesting statistic was posted to the web recently. Check it out.
Americans More Likely to be Shot by Law Enforcement than Killed by Terrorists
It sounds about right. However, if we take the 3147 who were “killed by terrorists,” then discount those who were killed on 09/11/01 because they were actually victims of a paramilitary operation/financial heist … then the number of people “killed by terrorists” becomes really really small.
Thus, statistically speaking, we are far more likely to get eaten by a pack of wild dogs than killed by “terrorists.” Henceforth, we should probably take a few billion dollars from the DHS budget and spend it on programs aimed at keeping wild dog populations in check.
Osama bin Laden is the boogeyman. He’s Emanuel Goldstein from 1984. He’s what your daddy (aka Freud’s “Big Daddy,” aka your government) uses when it suits him, so that you’ll stay in your room, cowering under the covers, rather than walk out and catch him naked with his coke whore in the living room. [I'm speaking metaphorically here]. Here’s a nice short clip on the multi-billion dollar hunt for the fictional Al Qaeda:
Good Night, and Good Luck!

Note: The phrase “Al Qaeda” literally translates to “the toilet bowl” in Arabic. Why would a group of “Superterrorists” call themselves that? How would it benefit recruitment? It’s like a really bad Austin Powers plot.
