Dan sheds light on the Israeli political fallout, and other angles of the terrorist co-pilot trying to destroy a FlyDubai airliner headed for Tel Aviv. Will the incident help Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's Oct. 27 election? (Probably.)
Dan then turns to Fred Burton, who was a senior counterterrorism official with the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service. He worked at Stratfor and is the author of best selling books, including "Ghost: Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent."
A key question: Why hasn't Iran launched a worldwide terrorism campaign, as its response to being attacked by Israel and the United States?
