Investors.com - Bare Warning

Investors.com - Bare Warning: "Homeland Security: When it comes to foul balls, a 'heads up!' is no big deal. But when the government warns of imminent and 'certain' attack by al-Qaida, complacency is not an option.

A chilling spectacle just took place before the Senate Intelligence Committee. Panel Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., asked, 'What is the likelihood of another terrorist-attempted attack on the U.S. homeland in the next three to six months, high or low?'

And one by one, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair, CIA Director Leon Panetta and FBI Director Robert Mueller all agreed an attack was 'certain.'

But log onto the Department of Homeland Security's Web site and all seems fairly calm. The first news item listed says, 'Secretary Napolitano Announces More than $23 Million in Recovery Act Funding for Fire Station Construction Grants.' And three of the other four news items on the main page tout the ways the department's $56.3 billion fiscal year 2011 budget request would be spent."
