See Richard Clark's testimoney before the 9/11 Comission, T... He tsaid, in essence, that he tried to get the Bush administartion to take terrorist groups seriously but that the was purdy much stonewallled by the incoming administration... In other words, the ball was handed off to Bush and his folks and they fumbled it...

Al Bore wouldn't have fumbled it... He would have been as vigilant as Clinton, who BTW, was the president during several attempted terrorist's plots that were stimied...

And as for terrorists attacks, there have been several... One right there in you country... And incidents of terror have increased... Not every plot has to bring down skyscrpers... The US government had to revise the number of incidents upwards a couple years ago because they weren't counting correctly but the number is in the thousands...

Maybe Amos or someone who has a faster computer than my pea-shoooter will provide a link to that...
