Video: Political group highlights the lack of GOP leadership on port security

During a commercial break from the CNN Sunday talk-show "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer", I noticed that the political action committee called "Americans United for Change" is already unveiling their new television spot on port security.  In the 30-second spot, they hold "the President and his backers in Congress" accountable for abandoning port security in this post-9/11 era:

MIKE MITRE (Director of Port Security, Longshoremen): "After 9/11, I thought President Bush and his backers in Congress would get serious about security.  But four years later, terrorists can still put a dirty bomb in one of these (containers), and only one in twenty will be inspected."

The "one in twenty" number is actually a generous one.  I have seen statistics from other sources that show a much less percentage of containers are usually inspected.

(Note: I am neither a member of "Americans United for Change", nor was I asked by them to publicize their media campaign on this site.  I do, however, agree with their efforts to make our country more secure, especially due to the fact that the proliferation of nuclear weapons will pose a huge threat to progress in the 21st century.)
