Abstract:
The list of arrests as a result of effective counterterrorism investigations by the United States in cooperation with other governments demonstrates conclusively that terrorist organizations have not relinquished their essential goals. Continuing these operations, which include sound, effective, and lawful intelligence, surveillance, and investigations, is one of the best weapons in America's arsenal for the long war.
