Intelligence Chiefs Say Another Terror Attempt in U.S. is "Certain"

Summary: This month it is being said that the uncertainty of another terrorist attack on the U.S. has become definite. Heads of major intelligence agencies in the United States told this news to the Senate today and also explained the measures that will need to be taken. The Al Queda is still among one of our biggest threats and also cyber security. The Al Queda scares many people becuase it is using methods to make their plots more difficult to detect. This group goes from large attacks with many participants, to smaller attacks including people without any previous terroristic attempts. It has been questioned if Obama's plan to close the Guantanamo Bay, in Cuba, will help reduce terrorist threats towards the U.S. Two officials agreed that it would just bring the suspects here, into the United States. Also the cyber security is a major threat because network information has been stolen daily from the government and private sectors. This is why the increase of cyber security is a must. These are the two major changes being enforced to stop the certain terrorist attack.

Opinion: Overall, i agree with the article in the sense that Al Queda and cyber security are two of our nations biggest threats right now. Since there has been another threat of a terrorist attack against the U.S. i feel that something needs to be done in order to try and stop it or at least to prepare for it. Because the Al Queda group is becoming harder to track and more unpredictable, there needs to be more preperation and an all around increase on our nation's security. After the Christmas Day terrorist attempt, all eyes were opened again to the possibility of another attack and that there may need to be another up in our security. Even thought there already is very tight airline security, there still may be the need for more or a greater awareness of the problem. Also because computers and technology are a huge part of this generation and America right now, the government should create a better security system in order to protect private information from being stolen. If there was a greater effort towards these two issues our country would be more equipt to prevent or handle another terrorist attack.
