CNN: 'No fear' of homegrown terrorism over Katrina bungling???

So who raised the issue of domestic terrorism over Katrina?
Somebody must be, or CNN wouldn't be addressing
the question.

Terrorists' message lost in Katrina's chaos

By Henry Schuster
CNN
Wednesday, September 7, 2005; Posted: 12:28 p.m. EDT (16:28 GMT)

Editor's Note: Henry Schuster, a senior producer in CNN's Investigative Unit and author of "Hunting Eric Rudolph," has been covering terrorism for more than a decade. Each week in "Tracking Terror," he reports on people and organizations driving international and domestic terrorism and efforts to combat those.

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- We have now seen this year's al Qaeda September surprise -- a video statement from a man purporting to be London bomber Mohammed Siddiq Khan who, with Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, warned of more attacks. But with hundreds of thousands displaced by Hurricane Katrina and a death toll that could run into the thousands, the questions are: Do we care right now? And do we believe them?

In New Orleans, no one is talking about terrorism. Entire communities are homeless. We still have no idea how many people died. But there is no fear in this country that the emergency response - whether appropriate in speed or focus -- will in any way spawn homegrown terrorism.
