2008年5月1日 

美国中央情报局局长迈克尔.V.海登（Michael V. Hayden）在昨天的讲话说“人口膨胀和全球性移民潮对美国构成了新的安全挑战，它造成了世界某些地方的资源紧张、引发极端主义和内乱，……海登在堪萨斯州立大学的发言中说，全球人口在未来40年预计有33 ％的增长，这将是改变本世纪安全情势的三个重要的趋势之一。到2050年，地球人口预计从67亿增加到90亿 （华盛顿邮报，星期四）

CIA Chief Sees Unrest Rising With Population

CIA's Hayden Warns of Swelling Population
5/1/2008
"Swelling populations and a global tide of immigration will present new security challenges for the United States by straining resources and stoking extremism and civil unrest in distant corners of the globe, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said in a speech yesterday.... Hayden, speaking at Kansas State University, described the projected 33 percent growth in global population over the next 40 years as one of three significant trends that will alter the security landscape in the current century. By 2050, the number of humans on Earth is expected to rise from 6.7 billion to more than 9 billion, he said." (Washington Post, Thursday)

The problem's not too many people. It's too little freedom.
