Talk amongst yourselves – no time to even think about it…in fact I wasn’t aware until I heard it on the radio this afternoon.

    Seems like catching Bin Laden would be a good idea.

    That would be a good place to start. It’s the money, the entire thing is a cash operation, and getting our hands around who’s funding all this is the key to breaking the legs of this group.

    We also have to assist Germany and Spain in their investigations. Making detainees available for testimony, regardless of whether either country has troops in Iraq.

    It’s time to come together. Since 9/11 we haven’t done good enough of a job of ensuring that happens.

    The money trail leads to Saudi Arabia and the wahabiast movement. Now would probably be a good time to start working with other countries, I know I am forgetting Poland.

    This seemed relavant:

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Three weeks before London’s bus and subway bombings, a Senate committee voted to slash spending on mass transit security in the United States, a decision sure to be reversed when Congress returns next week.

    At a minimum, the Senate will restore the $50 million cut, G. William Hoagland, top budget aide to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said Friday.

    There is pressure for a lot more, though adding to rail and transit security programs means cutting elsewhere in the Homeland Security Department’s $32 billion budget for next year. That places severe limits on what Congress can do – at least if it plays by its budget rules.

    Despite the March 2004 bombing of Madrid’s subway system, U.S. officials have been consumed with preventing a repeat of the airliner hijackings that produced the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
