The gang that couldn't shoot straight

1. US intelligence and law enforcement are so effective that almost all such attacks are now being prevented.

It was apparent early on that 911 was planned and executed by a group of idiots that should have been easily foiled. 911 succeeded for the same reason that the recent Saudi bombing succeeded, inadequate security and ignoring the warnings. This time it was the Saudis that were bamboozled.

2. Terrorist organizations have been crippled by the international war against terrorism.

This is true. We have hurt them bad and this must continue or they will come back stronger.

3. The threat has never been as great as has been put forward by the Govt and media.

If that were true there would have been no 911. Any group that kill 3000 people and destroy the WTC is a great but not undefeatable threat.
