Attacks Since 9/11

Matthew Yglesias:

"There has not been another attack on our soil since 9/11" -- anthrax! Anthrax! Oh well. For some reason that whole episode has been officially erased from the historical record or something.

Anthrax. And the DC Snipers. They were jihadists.

Prior to 9/11, we weren't attacked on our soil between 1993 and 2001. I'm not a math smarty, but I think that's eight years -- without torturing, wiretaps, preemptive invasion, and without killing habeas corpus.
