Nice pre-emptive touch

"Unless, like al-Qaida, you feel there's something abnormal about the American people, what these data say is, 'This is normal — everything in there is normal.'"

That's Dr. Denniss Fortenberry of Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion, one of the lead authors of a new comprehensive survey of the sexual habits of Americans, heading off criticism from the American right-wing by implicitly linking those who are afraid of sex to terrorists.

Well played, Fortenberry. Well played.
