to distinguish between Islam and the terrorists. The distinction has rankled conservatives who see scarce difference.

I read that far.  The merest understanding of statistics provides a strong difference between “Islam” and “the terrorists”.  I don’t plan on reading further. 

Let’s keep some balance here.

The hardest part of formulating a strategic response to the threat is defining Islam as a political and military enemy.  Once that psychological barrier has been crossed, defense sources tell me, the development of countermeasures - such as educating the public about the militant nature of Islam and exploiting “critical vulnerabilities” or rifts within the Muslim faith and community - can begin.

Educating the public?  Might not the public begin to ask why our brilliant leaders have given five decades of encouragement to this “political and military enemy”?  Might not our brilliant leaders, indeed, be forced to explain themselves in ways they would not wish?

Might not our brilliant leaders, therefore, direct the Pentagon to leave the issue of the radical nature of Islam well alone?
