Give credit in terrorism case

The recent thwarting of potential terrorist attacks in this country was fortunate in that the terrorists did not get to carry out their plan. We are also fortunate that law enforcement took at least some suspected terrorists into custody, but you can rest assured there are others to take their place.

It was a combination of CIA, FBI and the New York City anti-terror units that brought the capture to fruition. They should be commended. I am waiting for the major networks to give additional credit to the fact this investigation was started during the Bush administration and was significantly aided by using the guidelines of the Patriot Act enacted after 9/11. This included wiretapping.

Let us not fail to give additional credit where credit is due.
