Perhaps the biggest bombshell of the interview was his mention of Khorasan, aka al-Nusra, aka Core Al Qaeda, suggesting an attack might be coming. Which means the US didn't bomb them away a few weeks ago. What he didn't say was the precise method of attack, probably through the air and possibly involving toothpaste if other reporting can be believed. It's funny watching the administration scaring folks in this area while at the same time suggesting the threat from Ebola-infected fliers is zero.
Anyway, the funniest moment was when he was discussing domestic "lone wolf" jihadists. Comey said "lone wolf" was too good a description for them, preferring "lone rat". Nice--especially to see the look on Scott Pelley's face.
