"I'd rather be talking about this than all of the other things that Congress hasn't done well," one Republican congressional aide told AFP on condition of anonymity because of possible reprisals.

I mean, since 2001 I've heard of NUMEROUS foiled attacks and then they just disappear and fall by the wayside; or you find out the terrorists were the Keystone Cops of terrorism.
