BARACK OBAMA

'The threat is now increasingly from within.'

Mitchell Silber, director of intelligence analysis for the New York City police department, before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs a moment ago: "The threat is now increasingly from within," regarding home-grown, self-radicalized terrorists.

He concludes:

The al-Qaeda threat to the homeland is no longer confined to al-Qaeda core
. . . most recently, the home-grown, self-radicalized operatives who have no operational relationship with al-Qaeda's core, who utilize al-Qaeda's ideology
for action.
