During the Clinton era we had US right-wing terrorists to worry about too. Remember the OK city bombing? Of course the right-wing howled with outrage when the FBI and ATF actually went after those wackos. Some of them lived not far from Crawford Texas. What did Bush do about them? Were they supporters or what? They were no different than the Bin Lauden group, just a different religion. But Timothy McVeigh got revenge for them, didn't he? And Rush Limbaugh was out there practically encouraging it.

When the right chastised the Feds for going after these homegrown terrorists, it must have certainly influenced the Clinton justice department to do less not more. The message was clear, the right wanted the Feds to be less hands-on when it comes to terrorist intervention.
