..."Potential terrorists, stealing across the border, had been predicted well in advance of the World Trade Center disaster. In a May 1, 2000, Report to Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, the General Accounting Office reported, "Alien smuggling is a significant and growing problem. Some are smuggled as part of a criminal or terrorist enterprise that can pose a serious threat to U.S. national security." ...

Hmmmm, lemme see....May 2000--yep, the GOP was still in control of the House of Representatives; as I recall the Honorable (ahem, ah, er) Henry Hyde was at the helm of this committee.

"Part of a terrorist enterprise that can pose a serious threat to U.S. national security".....aha! The weasel's way out.....whoda thunk the GOP would rest its case depending on the word "can" or even that the events of 911 involved 'national security'.....

When, oh when, are the Amerikan people going to hold the feet of both parties to the fire? These bustards are too busy passing 'touchy feely' meaningless resolutions to honor this or that--so much of that crap, it appears, that it covers up reports like this!
