WASHINGTON - European terrorists are trying to enter the United States with European Union passports, and there is no guarantee officials will catch them every time, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Thursday.
Chertoff's comments on Capitol Hill comes as the country is entering a potentially vulnerable period with the presidential nominating conventions coming up next month; the presidential election in November; and the transition to a new administration in January — all of which may be attractive targets for terrorists.
In his last scheduled appearance before the House Homeland Security Committee, Chertoff said that the more time and space al-Qaida and its allies have to recruit, train, experiment and plan, the more problems the U.S. and Europe will face down the road.

My Comment: This story comes out a few days after a number of stories are released by the press complaining of 1,000,000 names on the U.S. Terrorism Watch List.
Coincidence?
But seriously .... we should not be surprised that terrorists are trying to enter the U.S. I have mentioned before that terrorists are eager to instigate an attack on the mainland to disprove the Bush strategy of keeping America safe and secure from such attacks. Supporters and Pundits who approve of President Bush's strategy of preemptive intervention have always remarked that it is working because there has been no strike against the U.S. since 9/11. What a propaganda coup it would be to prove them wrong.
