Attack Prevention
While Congress debates whether to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq, James Ridgeway of Mother Jones is taking a close look at where the United States is most vulnerable. His seven-part "Homeland Insecurity" series examines what has been done and still needs to be done to make Americans safe from another terrorist attack. His articles investigate how well the U.S. screens the 20 million cargo containers that enter our ports annually and problems with airport security, emergency planning, chemical freight cars and liquefied natural gas tankers. These stories come with a strong political viewpoint but do an important job probing a topic that doesn't get enough media attention. www.motherjones.com/news/featurex/2007/09/homeland-insecurity-ports-in-a-storm.html
