Although our government certainly is not free of goons, there is no denying the fact that there is a threat to the United States in terms of future terrorist attacks. I think it would be a little naive to think we are in the all clear because terrorist groups are always planning their next move...now that is not to say we face an imminent threat because as we have seen before planning attacks takes lots of time and money.
But while we deal with terrorists abroad, we must deal with terrorists inside our own borders...a lot of them are money-laundering goons indeed.
