Stealing al Qaeda's Playbook

Like the current and former members of the US government aren't already urinating on freedom of the press by verbally attacking those publications? It wouldn't be that big of a step.

That said, I get that it's not something we'd actually want to do. But my understanding was that those attacks were more riots than terrorism (we get our share of riots in the US too), which are a somewhat different problem and which involve different tactics to fight.
