Probably a combination of both. 60 minutes is going to make anyone look bad if that's what they decide to do. Perhaps Anderson is shorting LL himself?

wmw999 2,593 #6 March 3, 2015 Why is a hit piece on "60 Minutes" so much worse than a hit piece on Fox News? They're both information sources; one reviews what's on them and considers the source. I'll wait for confirmation, but, ya know, Chinese manufactured goods that include chemicals and plastic have a pretty bad rep right now. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

lawrocket 3 #9 March 3, 2015 But in this case a hedge fund manager bet that the stock would lose value and went to 60 Minutes to make it happen. Regardless of the veracity of the underlying claim or dangerousness of the flooring, the whole process used just looks shady and 60 minutes looks like a total hedge fund tool.

I think that the WMD and terrorism shit was the rallying cry when the country was still pissed off and inflamed. There was another reason, but nation building woukdn't have the support of the People. The American people would not support sending our troops to face death to install a government. But much like imagery of Miami underwater and images of hurricanes and tornadoes and floods and stuff make people abandon good sense, threats of terrorism and nukes also are nice tools to accomplish alternative goals.
