<b>A Formula For Disaster</b> (NY York Time Op-Ed by the Co-Chairman of the 9-11 Commission)

SINCE the passage of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the federal government has distributed more than $8 billion to help local police departments, firefighters and emergency medical technicians pay for equipment and training to prepare for terrorist attacks, including nuclear, radiological, chemical or biological strikes. In our report, the 9/11 commission recommended that this assistance "be based strictly on an assessment of risks and vulnerabilities." It seemed obvious to us that national security resources should be deployed where the threat is greatest.

The 9-11 Commission will help us understand. Another statement by the Ommission Commission on the heels of the great words of another Commission member, Jamie Gorlick, telling us Former 9/11 Commissioner: 'We're Less Safe' (Gorelick)

We should all be thankful! (Sorry, my sarcasm intended)

[Calusa]

When are we gonna cut these people of from the Federal dole. The Clinton-Gorelick legacy has been redeemed for the ages. Now go home and get a job.

If they go only into "high risk" areas, loud mouth blabbing accompanying it, the brainwashed zombie butchers will immediately seek out low risk areas. Duh!
