ABCNews Terrorism Chat

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Since Y2K seems to have a terrorism thread to it lately with Diane's studies and the comments of many around here, this from ABCNews site:

Is America Still At Risk? Chat with Terror Expert Dr. Ivan Eland

Terrorists bombed the 110-story World Trade Center in New York six years ago today. The first major foreign terror attack on U.S. soil put Americans on notice that they had new threats to fear. Is America still vulnerable? Has the government taken better precautions to avoid another WTC incident?

Dr. Ivan Eland, Director of Defense Policy Studies at the CATO Institute joins us Friday, Feb. 26, at 2:30 p.m. ET to discuss terrorism and the threat to the United States since the bombing.

Brett,

It was FEMA who linked Y2K with terrorism when Clinton appointed Mike Walker Deputy Director, and in charge of ... terrorism and Y2K coordination. And then acknowledged it on the web-site.
