Am I the only one sensing that American public attention is wandering away from homeland security? There has been so much focus on Iraq, and now Iran, and, overall, an unseemly subtext that what really matters is how such developments may affect the 2008 presidential election—America’s longest running political soap opera—that the highest priority, our domestic physical security, is slipping out of view. It will snap right back, of course, if and when we are attacked.
No, I am not alone. In this article for the Washington, D.C. Examiner, Logan Gage from our Washington office, calls attention to neglected recent testimony by Mike McConnell, Director of National Intelligence. And another Discovery agent in Washington D.C., John Wohlstetter, mild-mannered technology expert and DI senior fellow, is nearing publication of his Discovery Institute Press book, The Long War Ahead: and The Short War Upon Us. Look for it next month.
