Report Warns of Looming Danger For Domestic Terror Attacks

The constant whine in the media about what President Bush is or isn’t doing is not helping us catch and kill terrorists. I thought September 11th was enough to build resolve to end the terror threat forever, but it wasn’t. What will it take before this country gets serious?
