Saw most of Dirty War on PBS. The after movie discussion panel was actually pretty informative, although not comforting. The Homeland Security rep. put in a plug for reauthorizing the Patriot Act, since the movie police failed to stop the terrorists partially due to poor communication between agencies. Warren Rudman emphasized that there was no way to guarantee that such an attack won't happen here. In fact, he seems pretty sure that there will be such an attack. The terrorism expert also responded to a question by saying that the main threat is from Islamic terrorism.
Essentially, the DHS guy said we have to stop it, because we can't prepare for it and Rudman said we have to prepare for it because we can't stop it.
