In the previous post there was a quote from VP Cheney about the massive flow of illegal immigrants over our southern border. Perhaps he should read this TownHall column:
...al Qaeda may have come to the same conclusion as many economically driven illegal immigrants: The U.S. is still not serious about securing its southern border.
...the massive number of people arrested at our southern border in each year since 9/11 means we are still sending an unmistakable message to the world: The backdoor to the U.S. remains unlocked.
If some of the people who get through that door turn out to be al Qaeda killers, the damage they may do here could change America forever.
That's why even if no one else does, President Bush should take very seriously the tough-minded Border Patrol language in his own party's platform.

This shows that the government is aware of the threat of a disruption of the election by terrorists. Unfortunately, they are probably only concerned to avoid being blamed for allowing terrorists in, at a sensitive time period. The terror offensive, to be effective at turning the election, must involve those who have been processed or apprehended and released by the government, and get information of gross negligence of that kind out to the media, after the attacks.
