WASHINGTON (AP) -- Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge is expected to announce Wednesday a government campaign that will advise families on what they can do to protect themselves against terrorism.

The "Ready Campaign" will include public service announcements that will encourage families to have a communications plan so members can reach each other in an emergency; to make a supply kit with flashlights, batteries, water and other necessities; and to learn more about terrorism.

"The war on terrorism will be won by the professionals"

This is perhaps one of the most blatantly arrogant statements ever uttered by a federal bureaucrat.

The war on terrorism will be won only if every American is keenly aware of his/her role in fighting it. Keep in mind a truck driver spotted the car with the two snipers. The truck driver notified the authorities who had previously let the guys go on a number of occasions. The professionals were chasing their tails and the truck driver found the murderers.
