Cheney Aide Threatened Terror To Silence DoJ Lawyer

When Goldsmith cautioned that the NSA eavesdropping program was a potential violation of the FISA court, shortly before controversy about the issue erupted in the media, Addington scorned him with the threat of a new 9/11, screeching, “We’re one bomb away from getting rid of that obnoxious [FISA] court."

Likewise, when Goldsmith raised questions about another administration policy, Addington rebuked him with vitriol, stating, “If you rule that way, the blood of the hundred thousand people who die in the next attack will be on your hands.”

Addington was basically threatening the consequence of terror if Goldsmith erected any roadblocks to stymie the Neo-Con's political agenda - using the threat of terror to achieve a political objective - which is the very definition of terrorism.
