Days of Rage to Cyber Terror

In the late 60's the violent Days of Rage became the voice of the Weather Underground and those opposing the Vietnam War and supposed U.S. imperialism. In the early 1900s bombs were used to attack the LA Times and the JP Morgan Bank building on Wall Street. From 1978 to 1995 it was the UNABOM'er. Then came the horrific events of 9/11/2001 followed by Anthrax threats. We now face cyber-threats that may launched from anywhere in the world, potentially bringing disaster upon the U.S. masses.

While the face of terror has changed, the cowardice behind it has not. The terrorist is loud and proud in the protest or rally, but then hides in the crowd or in the distance as he brings a violent end to his enemy or a representative target.

Dr. Dave McIntyre is the Director of the Integrative Center for Homeland Security at Texas A&M. He also teaches homeland security and terrorism at the Bush School for Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, where he directs the graduate Certificate for Homeland Security program. Dr. McIntyre was appointed a member of the National Security Education Board by President Bush in June 2008, and subsequently confirmed by the US Senate. He serves on the Steering Committee of the Homeland Security / Defense Educational Consortium.
