Because of this concern, federal agencies are taking a variety of additional steps to ramp up our protection and prevention measures, as well as communicating with state and local law enforcement and the private sector to inform them of our assessment of the latest information. If you'll recall, in early October, there was a release of tapes recorded by bin Laden, as well as Zawahiri, and increased intelligence reporting against our critical infrastructure, transportation systems, and the American people and our friends and allies. That led us to issue several public warnings about the heightened possibility of either a large-scale or several small-scale attacks on the United States at home or against our interests abroad. At that time, we began a coordinated effort among all levels of the government and the private sector to reduce our vulnerability and increase our preparedness levels, based on the new threat information. And that information has not stopped and will be ongoing for the foreseeable future.") (Click here to view entire transcript.) (November 14, 2002)

Ali looks great, but I think the Afghans don't realize that he has Parkinsons, they look a little apprehensive.
What wonderful pictures of the Afgan girls and women! It is nice to be able to see their faces. The Afgan pictures are always my favorites. My husband and I so much appreciate your pictures. He likes the military-type photos best and I very much like the ones of people. But they are all good and interesting! I swear, if Afganistan ever becomes a safe place, I would love to visit there!
