Preventing Terrorism: Assessing the Nations Progress
The Commission has concluded its work as a congressionally mandated organization, as of February 26, 2010. Senator Graham, Senator Talent and Colonel Larsen are committed to continuing this bipartisan work on these important issues. To that end, they have formed The Bipartisan WMD Terrorism Research Center. The Commission website will remain as an archive of past activities, but will no longer be updated.
Unless the world community acts decisively and with great urgency, it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013.
Congress established the bipartisan Commission for the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism to address the grave threat that the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction poses to the United States.
In December 2008, the Commission published its report, World at Risk, which recognized that the US government has yet to fully adapt to the current circumstance of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction and identified specific actions.
The Director of National Intelligence publicly agreed with the Reports threat assessment, saying we [the intelligence community] assess biological as the more likely and its better than an even chance in the next five years that an attack by one of those weapons systems will be conducted in some place on the globe
The Commission agrees and believes that the U.S. government needs to move more aggressively to reduce the threat of bioterrorism.
World at Risk identifies 13 recommendations for Congress and the Administration. In an unprecedented act, Congress authorized an additional year of work by the Commission to assist Congress and the Administration turn these recommendations into actions.
Bob Graham, Chairman
Jim Talent, Vice Chairman

re. terrorism, in view of Obama’s “take advantage of every crisis” and his being a friend of terrorists, I’d say we have taken a huge step backwards.
Was the oil platform truly a convenient accident, or was it terrorist sabatage by an agent of the Administration?
After all, if Liberals can believe Bush blew the 9-11 towers, then they can believe Obama agents blew the oil platform.
Sealing our borders, and ending Muslim immigration would lower the risk.
Would they be known as 420 Truthers?:)
Prevent terrorism by removing the illegitimate BO/BS from office!
