The ten year anniversary of September 11th seems to be bringing out a whole bunch of articles which are pointing out the obvious absurdity of spending a trillion dollars to save what might be a couple thousand lives, but given how few terrorist attacks we have stopped from government action may well be no lives at all.

Businessweek, Slate. The Atlantic, LA Times, SF Gate.
