...Faris received attack instructions from top terror leader Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, authorities said, for what they suggested might have been a second wave of terrorism to follow the Sept. 11 attacks.
...”The case against him was so strong that Faris chose to cooperate,” Bush said. “Today instead of planning terrorist attacks against the American people, Iyman Faris is sitting in an American prison.”
Everyone expected just such a wave of terrorist attacks after 911. Everyone asks how it can be that such a wave of attacks has not yet taken place. Examples such as this appear to indicate that our law enforcement and intelligence agencies have been extremely successful in preventing them.
The Left has tried to claim that the absence of such attacks meant there is no terrorist threat. Examples such as this appear to indicate the reverse.
He said the Patriot Act has been used to bring charges against more than 400 suspects, and more than half have been convicted. He also said it has been used to break up terrorist cells in New York, Oregon, Virginia and Florida.
In opposing the Patriot Act, the Left was opposing the very thing that is contributing so much to keeping us safe.
I was surprised earlier this week to see that an expansion of the Patriot Act was passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee. It appears likely the Committee had heard all these details, and possibly a lot more.
