Safe at Home? Not Quite

It seems that the war in Iraq hasn't made us any safer after all. Our glorious protectors now think there's a chance we could be attacked with chlorine bombs here at home:

The U.S. Homeland Security Department is concerned the use of chlorine bombs in Iraq is now a threat to the United States, USA Today reported Tuesday.

In Washington, Robert Stephan, Homeland Security's infrastructure protection chief said 150-pound tanks of chlorine are common throughout the world and terrorists have learned to make bombs from them that kill not only by explosive force but by suffocating victims with toxic fumes.

"This is now being used as a tactic against us in another part of the world," Stephan said.

So much for the "Let's fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here" argument.
