The Daily Show Kicks Off Counter-terrorism Week

Looking at the upcoming guest list for the Daily Show we're starting to notice some trends. Let's see, on Wednesday there's counter-terrorism agent Fred Burton. The night after we've got former counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke, one full Thursday ahead of next Thursday's guest, Adam Sandler, promoting "Don't Mess With the Zohan." That can mean only one thing . . . it's Terrorism Week on the Daily Show! Counter-terrorism Week! Counter-terrorism Week! It's just like Shark Week, only spotlighting the most dangerous predators on LAND. Here's a hint: at some time in their careers they've worked for the State Department.

Watch this video of Wednesday's guest Fred Burton and tell us he couldn't kick your ass:
