Are we ready for another 9/11?

WASHINGTON D.C. — Six years after the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks, a common refrain among intelligence, homeland security and LEOs is that America is safer, but more needs to be done.

"We've improved the odds, but the odds still favor the terrorists,'' said John McLaughlin, former deputy director of the CIA. ''They play by no rules. They're willing to die. They don't respond to deterrents in a way that traditional enemies have. They go to school on what we do.''

The government aims to share its intelligence better to combat terrorism. But sharing remains the thorniest problem.
