The Bush administration would do well to detail some of the attacks that have been thwarted. People have forgotten all about 9/11 and need a reminder that the jihadists are still working to hurt us. The Bush admin. should also explain that of course the jihadists can't hurt us militarily, but economically, they can destroy our economy. The jihadists understand that but the average voter doesn't seem to.

Agreed. It's unhelpful to constantly warn of the "inevitable" attack, while failing to note any of the successes.

Not really.Some things are better left unsaid.By detailing the potential plots,it would create worry and angst.I've got a friend in DC in some capacity that I'd rather not say, and this number is about right in terms of what we've uncovered.I'd rather not know.....
