WASHINGTON (AP) - National intelligence director Mike McConnell said Tuesday that U.S. authorities are worried about "sleeper cells" of would-be terrorists inside the United States and are remaining vigilant against any new attacks.

--
"We're safer but we're not safe," he said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

McConnell said that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network "intends to have an operation in the United States that will result in mass casualties."

Meanwhile, McConnell said: "We worry about sleeper cells in the United States. There are al-Qaida sympathizers . . . but so far we have not been able to identify them."

2. Oh shut up, McConnell!

Seriously! I'm sick of all the threats and the fear mongering and the references to hypothetical terror plots! :grr:

For eight years under President Clinton, our intelligence chiefs didn't do the talk show circuit to whip up fear; they did their jobs and they kept our country safe. If we're in danger, then the National Intelligence director should be working overtime, not doing interviews! :grr: :grr: :grr:
