Why terrorist attacks seem predictable in hindsight
Original: Why do terrorist attacks seem so predictable in hindsight?
A discussion has been sparked about why terrorist attacks often appear predictable in hindsight, examining how analysts and the public reconstruct warning signs after the fact. Commenters point to hindsight bias, selective attention, and the sheer volume of weak signals that are impossible to filter in advance, arguing that 'predictable' is easier to see after an attack than before it.
Why now: Renewed attention to the psychology and intelligence failures behind anticipating terrorist attacks.
