Did You Know? Did you know that in January 2001, the United States Commission on National Security, co-chaired by former senators Gary Hart (D) and Warren Rudman (R), delivered a report to President Bush and Congress concerning the threat of terrorism? Did you know that the report "warned that a devastating terrorist attack on America was imminent and called for the immediate creation of a Cabinet-level [homeland] security agency"? Did you know that in the spring of 2001, spurred on by this report, members of Congress introduced a bill to create a homeland security agency? Did you know that in May 2001, President Bush shot this down? [pseudorandom] 4:05:11 PM
