Thanks for linking that thread, which deserves a lot more discussion and research. I stand by my own comment on it:

I will never forget who Larry Johnson is because he is another version of Joe Wilson - a pompous, strutting, vapid careerist who asserts more than he can know about what he does not begin to understand. He wrote what should be one of the most notorious Op-Ed columns in history, appearing in the NY Times July 10, 2001, claiming that terrorism was a sharply declining phenomenon which should be far down the list of priorities for US policy makers. I recall reading this column that very morning and thinking "this guy is an utter fool and he is supposed to be one of the key US counter-terrorism experts!" It was a time of increasing alerts and terror threats before 9/11, though the focus of attention was mainly overseas, yet Larry Johnson's mission was to pooh-pooh any attempts to ratchet up our concerns. He was one of the clowns who helped the country to sleep before 9/11, and he was supposed to be the great expert on terrorism.


"Who is Larry Johnson? He's the author of one of the more poorly timed op-eds in history. On July 10, 2001, he wrote in the New York Times under the headline "The Declining Terrorist Threat" that "Americans have little to fear" from terrorism unless they travel or work in a few of the world's hotspots."
