As we count our blessings on Thanksgiving, let’s remember why we can do so in safety.
Although the military has played a large role, the people most responsible for preventing another attack during the eight years since 9/11 are the men and women of the FBI and CIA.
Those who ascribe that record to luck or an accident forget that the FBI announces new arrests of terrorists every few months. Most recently, the FBI arrested five men in separate alleged plots to blow up federal buildings or subways, attack Americans, and create mass destruction. All the plotters shared allegiance to radical jihad and devotion to al-Qaida.
Since 9/11, the FBI, the CIA, and the military have rolled up about 5,000 terrorists worldwide — a headline you will never see in The New York Times. Thus, many plots never are hatched, because terrorists have been killed, arrested, or sent back to their own countries and imprisoned.
