Stephen Colbert tells author Ron Suskind that Vice President Cheney's so-called "One Percent Doctrine"--whereby a one percent chance of terrorists obtaining WMDs must be treated as a certainty--is "soft on terror."
Colbert: "One percent? Shouldn't it be a zero percent doctrine? I mean even if there's no chance that someone's a threat to the United States, and they just look at us funny, shouldn't we just--[beats a fist into his palm]--tag 'em?"
Truthdig salutes Ron Suskind, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer whose most recent book, "The One Percent Doctrine," stripped down Vice President Dick Cheney's counter-terrorism philosophy to its Strangelovian essence: If there is a 1% chance of a terrorist attack, America must respond as though it is a 100% certainty.
