Who Is This "They" You're Referring To?

I know the song is four years old, but it still makes me mad every time I hear this lyrics (which is too often, unfortunately, since the shop guys usually have the country station on):

"And they say we shouldn't worry about Bin Laden/Have you forgotten?"

I guess when singer Darryl Worley posed for Playgirl this summer he didn't list "straw men" among his turn-offs.
