last week, you and your co- chairman, lee hamilton, issued another report that i must say was pretty much overshadowed by the koran-burning controversy, so i want to put the spotlight on that for a minute. basically, you and mr. hamilton concluded that we have failed to anticipate the real danger we face now from home-grown terrorists. you went on to say in the report that terrorists have found our achilles heel. just how serious is this, and what do you actually mean by that? >> we think it's very serious. we think it's a growing threat because the strategy has changed. it's much more difficult for al qaeda to maybe have a great big attack like 9/11, so they're plotting smaller attacks. they're using non-traditional people to try to do them. so, the best non-traditional people they can get, frankly, are american citizens, people with passports, people who can travel back and forth. people like the person who tried to blow up the bomb in times square. they're recruiting these people every day over the internet. they're taking them to places, not necessarily in afghanistan, but somali

on the eve of our nation's 9/11 commemorations, the national security preparedness group led by lee hamilton and tom keane issued a timely report entitled assessing the terrorist threat. the report said that america continues to face serious threats from al qaeda affiliates around the world and from home-based terrorists. it warned of an increasingly wide range of u.s.-based jihadist militants who do not fit any particular ethnic, economic, educational, or social profile. it also sounded this grave warning. the american melting pot has not provided a firewall against the radicalization and recruitment of american citizens and residents though it has arguably lulled us into a sense of complacency that homegrown terrorism couldn't happen in the united states. initially i remember we thought this was a problem. that western europe would have, but that we would not have because of the differences in our culture. the keane/hamilton report called 2009 a water shed year in terrorist plots in the united states. as the chairman has been pointing out, the statistics are a call for alarm. in 2009 alone
