A Formula for Disaster - New York Times
A Formula for Disaster - New York Times:By THOMAS H. KEAN and LEE H. HAMILTON
"SINCE the passage of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the federal government has distributed more than $8 billion to help local police departments, firefighters and emergency medical technicians pay for equipment and training to prepare for terrorist attacks, including nuclear, radiological, chemical or biological strikes. In our report, the 9/11 commission recommended that this assistance 'be based strictly on an assessment of risks and vulnerabilities.' It seemed obvious to us that national security resources should be deployed where the threat is greatest."
