Many of you remember Ted Koppel, the great broadcast journalist and interviewer/anchor for "Nightline" from 1980 until his retirement in 2005. Now a senior news analyst for NPR, his recent book Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath is bringing him back to prominence as he warns us how unprepared we are for a major cyberattack.
This week, Koppel was on "Meet the Press" and spoke with Chuck Todd about how Republican candidates, especially Donald Trump, are playing into the ISIS playbook.
"The irony is that they think they are being tough on ISIS . . . . Donald Trump is in effect the recruiter in chief for ISIS. ISIS wants nothing more right now than to have the world divided into Judaeo Christian on one side and the Muslim world on the other. That is exactly what Trump is doing for them. I think it's time we started thinking about what ISIS wants and then not doing it."Wise words from a seasoned world observer. Attention must be paid.
