CIA Chief Says Al Qaeda Still Greatest Threat to U.S.

somehow that doesn't quite wash with the acknowledgment in the article that,
"Tenet said the war on terrorism has dealt severe blows to Al Qaeda and its leadership. A number of senior Al Qaeda have been killed. Others are on the run. Efforts of the U.S. government or friendly governments have choked off funds the terror cells need to operate. Countries have also arrested nearly 1,000 Al Qaeda terrorists."

A greater threat emerging is the administration's frenzy to curtail civil rights of the citizenry and institute indefinite wartime-sized spending sprees using the threat of total US ruination at the hands of a bunch of terrorists.
International terrorism is a serious problem but that problem is being used by Bush's cabal to justify an inappropriate wave of its own brand of terror. Oops...I better watch what I say.
The momentum of the government's actions could soon reach a point where those actions create so much mayhem that it will actually be EASIER for the international terrorists to strike and do more damage.
