You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan" even if the plan is horrifying. If, tomorrow, I tell the press that a gang-banger will get shot or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics because "it's all part of the plan". But murder one little old CEO and everyone loses their minds!
