In targeting and wiretapping Americans, the administration would have to get individual court orders from the intelligence court, but in "exigent" or emergency circumstances it would be able to go ahead for at least seven days without a court order if it asserted that "intelligence important to the national security of the United States may be lost".
What Rose has done is to highlight three specific traits that characterise the "engineering mindset": first, it asks "why argue when there is one best solution?"; second, it asserts "if only people were rational, remedies would be simple"; and third, it appeals to those with an underlying craving for a lost order, which lies at the heart of both salafi and jihadi ideology.
It asserts that if the Nazis had succeeded in exterminating all the Jews, Christians would have been the next targets.
It asserts that if a country raises taxes and expenditures by the same amount in a time of high unemployment, and if monetary policy is accommodating, the national income grows by exactly the amount of the tax, so that after-tax income is unchanged.
It asserts LOS if the external eye opening is below 50 mV.
It asserts that if some possibilia has the \(P\) property in all alternative states, then in every alternative state some possibilia has the \(P\) property.
It asserts that if 〈X i 〉 is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables which has an expectation μ, then: μ = lim N → ∞ 1 N ∑ i = 1 N X i (2).
It asserts that, if M is a nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex subset of a Banach space X and A, B are two maps from M into X such that (A(M +B(M subseteq M), A is compact and B is a contraction, then (A+B) has at least one fixed point in M (see [1] or [2], p.31).
It asserts that, if M is a bounded, closed, and convex subset of a Banach space X and A, B are two mappings from M into X such that A is compact and B is a contraction, (A(M +B(M subseteq M), then (A+B) has at least one fixed point in M. Since then, there has been a vast literature dealing with the improvements of such a result.
It asserts that if sufficiently large random samples are drawn from a population then the distribution of sample means is approximately normal.
