Who Asks About Terrorist Motives?

Why, Glenn Greenwald wants to know, can no one in government say about terrorists:

They claim that the U.S. is interfering in, occupying and bringing violence to their part of the world, they cite things like civilian deaths and our support for Israel and Guantanamo and torture, and claim that their terrorism is in retaliation.

Glenn praises Helen Thomas for asking about motives, and criticizes the Obamanian who refuses to answer. But Ron Paul has talked about motives for decades. When he did at the Republican debate, and Rude Guiliani flipped out, that was one of only many instances.
