Global Economy Top Threat to U.S., Spy Chief Says - WASHINGTON — The new director of national intelligence told Congress on Thursday that global economic turmoil and the instability it could ignite had outpaced terrorism as the most urgent threat facing the United States.
Hints of our brave new world seeped out Thursday when Washington's new Director of National Intelligence, retired Adm. Dennis Blair, testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee. He warned that the deepening economic crisis posed perhaps our gravest threat to stability and national security. It could trigger, he said, a return to the "violent extremism" of the 1920s and 1930s.
The current defense team confronted a game-changing "strategic shock" in its first 8 months in office. The Obama team would be well-advised to expect the same.
