I hate to disagree but from CNN September 18, 2001
President Bush warned that the war against terrorism won't be waged solely against Osama bin Laden and his organization, al Qaeda "This is a war not against a specific individual, nor will it be a war against solely one organization," he said. "It is a war against terrorist activities." This morning, I caught a speach from a Leader in the US (I beleive military but, can't remember exactly, I'm trying to find confirmation now so...) In his speach he grouped "Organized Crime" with "Terrorist Organizations" That is a scary leap!
