The New York Times Magazine has posted an article on its website that will appear in the January 17 issue of the magazine, titled “Inside Obama’s War on Terrorism.“

It’s a chilling article that, among other things, sets forth details as to how Obama and his aides confronted the threat of a terror attack at The Mall on Inauguration Day:

For a fledgling president, the incident would be a lesson in the fluid, murky nature of terrorism. The challenge of leading the struggle against violent extremists is more than just hunting down bad guys; it’s distinguishing between what’s real and what’s not, tracking down where threats begin, figuring out the right response and finding a balance between acknowledging danger and projecting confidence. The Obama administration spent its first year in office trying to find its balance.
