Tackling The Terrorist Threat: Progress Made and Future Challenges
By Michael Jacobson
This afternoon, the Washington Institute hosted Ken Wainstein, the Homeland Security Advisor to the President, as part of a speaker series we've been running since December 2007. Mr. Wainstein, who has served in this position since March 2008, spoke about the WMD terrorist threat to the US and its allies. In his remarks, Mr. Wainstein laid out the threat, focusing on nuclear and biological aspects, as well as the steps the US has taken to address it since 9/11. While Mr. Wainstein noted that the US has made significant progress in this arena and build a strong infrastructure to combat WMD terrorism, there is still much work that remains to be done in this critically important area.
