The Enemy Within
Frontline, along with the NY Times, did a show last night on the efforts of intelligence (I use that term loosely) agencies in the U.S. fighting the "Enemy Within". If you've been reading this and other blogs, you already know the basic outlines of the story, but the NY Times has a follow-up article today that is quite good. The long and short is that virtually all of the "big" catches have turned out to be nonsense. Particular focus is on the "al Qaeda cell" in Lodi which turns out to be an ice cream truck driver and his sixth grade drop-out son.

It's a good program and I'm sure you can watch it on the Frontline site if you're interested.
