exactly

there is no need to open every container that comes into this country. screening and radiation scans will suffice. another instance where the republicans put the public good over the profits of companies. more ap propaganda.

Mission Accomplished II--

"I don't think there's a lot more there," said James Carafano, homeland security fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative-oriented Washington think tank. "I think we're done."

Sounds like they got everything squared away.

Anything they missed they can still blame on Clinton.

Are We Safe Yet?

On September 11, 2006, The Boston Globe published an opinion piece (sorry, I don't have the link) co-authored by Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton (the chair and vice chair, respectively, of the 9/11 Commission) titled, "Unfinished job of safety."

In this piece, the pair called for homeland security funds to be allocated based on risk assessment, as opposed to the more general revenue sharing approach that was favored under the GOP-led Congress; called for better Congressional oversight of intelligence and homeland security matters (as noted above by Media Matters); and called on the federal government to screen all passengers against a comprehensive terrorism watch list, something apparently not currently being done by the airlines.

They concluded:

"Finally, preventing terrorists from gaining access to nuclear weapons must be elevated above all other problems of national security. The commission called for 'a maximum effort' against this threat, including stepped up efforts to secure loose nuclear materials abroad. Our current effort falls far short."

Yep. Sounds like we are all done to me too.
