Is someone suggesting that of the 2.3 percent of the votes left, just about every single one went to Calderon?

Rather than having our investigative arm of Congress driving around with radioactive material in hopes of catching U.S. port officials unawares, may I suggest we avoid an embarassing international incident and focus on problems that really do exist rather than create these alarmista fictions?

Their report, heavy on the details, fails to note whether they let the Mexican goverment know they were making a run for the border starting in that country with the WMD materials. They made the same type of bomb-run into Canada during the same time period, July to December 2005.What's also interesting is that this report didn't seem to be ordered by any member of Congress. Did the GAO initiate this by themselves? I noticed they jumped on the terrorism bandwagon, saying they conducted the investigation because "given today’s unprecedented terrorism threat environment and the resulting widespread congressional and public interest in the security of our nation’s borders, GAO conducted an investigation testing whether radioactive sources could be smuggled across U.S. borders." Is it getting to close to budget-justification season again? Terrorists can strike anywhere, at any time. They could drop a kilo of heroin in the Central Arizona Project and give 2 million people the jitters. They can bomb a Safeway at rush hour or blow up a federal building with the same materials used to make meth. Why are inner-border threats not addressed? That's not to say Customs and Border Protection gets off the hook. In the Canadian border attempt, the Customs and Border Protection officer identified the radioactive substance but didn't question the validity of the permissions the undercover GAO investigators handed over to him. At the border crossing with Mexico, the CBP official again failed to question the falsified documents.
