>> My family lives in the Washington DC metro area, and thus am perhaps more vulnerable to terrorist attacks than most who post on this thread. My husband's office was less than half a mile from the Pentagon on 9/11. So what? I live in NYC and my brother was actually injured on 9/11. I'd say history shows I am in a more dangerous area than you...and unlike some, we have not built a fortress around ourselves. > When you say "threat to the public," what does that mean? <blah blah blah> You don't have a clue, do you? A lot more than you. Nice try. The statement is obvious to anyone with half a brain. Since when any single person or family defines the general public? You forgot that my original post said "the level of threat they present to the American public" should be the deciding factor. If you could agree on that, then we could move on to if and how much the threat to international commerce is a threat to the public. BTW, it means real and physical danger to the people living in the US as a whole and not threat to corporate profits or Neocon agenda. Physical threat to real people should be the number one priority. Everything else comes later.
