The Sunday edition of the Arizona Republic runs a regular section called “Plugged In.”  This Sunday’s edition runs a comment from me:

Let U.S. always remember terrorism remains a threat

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to use the words “terror” or “terrorism” in her inaugural appearance before Congress. That is very disturbing. Terrorism remains our most immediate national security threat, and DHS was created specifically to coordinate our responses to terrorism. Downplaying those threats is dangerous and irresponsible.
