The media is an ally when it comes to showing the truth about terrorist groups. Attacking the media will not produce a more compliant citizenry. It will produce a more alienated, suspicious and disenfranchised public, one more likely to chafe under a government's attempts at control, all to the benefit of terrorist groups.
在揭露恐怖组织真相方面，媒体是盟友。攻击媒体不会产生一个更顺从的公民。它将产生一个更加疏远、可疑和被剥夺权利的公众，一个更可能在政府试图控制下愤怒的公众，所有这些都有利于恐怖组织。

We are not accepting that countries just get to sit back and let the United States meet threats that are going to roost in their worlds just as easily as they are in ours.
我们不接受各国坐视不管，任由美国像对付我们的世界一样轻而易举地应对将在它们世界中栖息的威胁。
My career is not well thought out. Every choice has been instinctive and, quite literally, impulsive in many ways.
我的职业规划不周全。每一个选择都是本能的，而且在很多方面都是冲动的。
Serving in the executive branch is very different than sounding off from an academic perch.
