The rediscovery of danger

Article Abstract:

Americans were warned of the possibility of terrorists attacks prior to September 11, but did not pay attention because no threat was perceived to their security. A Presidential commission predicted two years ago that large numbers of Americans would die on American soil from a terrorist attack. Other warnings were made, including the Defense Intelligence Agency's forecast last March of an attack over the next 12 to 24 months.
