TERROR WATCH:CIA Bin Laden Chief: Next Attack ‘Bigger Than 9/11'

If al-Qaida does launch an attack inside the U.S.,as the U.S. government suggests,"it will be much bigger than 9/11."This prediction of a nightmarish terror attack comes from Michael Scheuer,the retired CIA veteran who headed the agency's secret unit dedicated to capturing Osama bin Laden.In an exclusive NewsMax interview,the 22-year CIA veteran and bestselling author of "Imperial Hubris:Why the West is Losing the War on Terror,"argues that while our government in Washington has talked a "good talk" about security,America remains
seriously vulnerable.Despite the clear and present danger,Scheuer cites the federal
government's failure to secure the borders,especially the U.S.-Mexico border."We haven't done the basic things that were needed on 9/11 to protect Americans to the greatest extent possible,and that is domestic border control,"he says.As a result, almost six years since the Sept. 11 attacks,America's law enforcement still does not know"who is in the country without a pool of illegals that increases by the hour."Today,terrorists could strike with ease if they so choose.
Scheuer points to the port of Houston,which could be easily targeted because of its refining operations.On the global front of the war on terror,Scheuer offers a similar pessimistic view because the U.S. has never exercised the full clout of the"military option"to put down the insurgency in Iraq and deal with terrorists elsewhere.Simply put,Scheuer says the U.S. is too worried about what Europe thinks of our policies and has not risen to the challenge we face from Muslim extremists..
