feeling secure?

9/11 Commissioners: Bush and GOP Congress have put US at "great risk" of terrorist attack by their inaction

This is the Republican head of the commission saying this. God help us.

The U.S. is at great risk for more terrorist attacks because Congress and the White House have failed to enact several strong security measures, members of the former Sept. 11 commission said Sunday.

"It's not a priority for the government right now," said the former chairman, Thomas Kean, ahead of the group's release of a report Monday assessing how well its recommendations have been followed.

"More than four years after 9/11 ... people are not paying attention," the former Republican governor of New Jersey said. "God help us if we have another attack."

And, by the way, hello, Democrats? This is the kind of issue you shut down Congress and the government over. You want to take back Washington and the country? Seize the moment, or move out of the way.
