Information on Terrorists'
Aims,
Targets, Methods Uncertain |
| By Jim Garamone / American Forces Press Service |
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 2002 — People who expect certainty
from the global war on terrorism are not going to get it,
U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz said here Friday.
Wolfowitz emphasized the uncertainly of information about
terrorist aims, targets and methods during a speech to the
Defense Forum Foundation on Capitol Hill.
"One way to think about it is to go back to August of last
year," Wolfowitz told the audience of congressional
staffers. "If we had launched an attack against the Taliban
and said, 'This is to prevent attack on the World Trade
Center,' the whole world would have said, 'Where's your
evidence?' More |

Threat as Great as Before 9-11 |
| By Jim Garamone / American Forces
Press Service |
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, 2002 -- The terrorist threat today is as
great as it was in the weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist
attacks, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director George Tenet
told Congress Thursday.
Tenet
told the Joint Committee on Intelligence that al Qaeda has reconstituted.
"They are coming after us," he said. "They want
to execute attacks. You see it in Bali, you see it in Kuwait.
They plan in multiple theaters of operations. They intend to
strike this homeland again, and we better get about the business
of putting the right structure in place as fast as we can."
