August 10, 2006 Contact: Leslie Phillips (202) 224-2627 LIEBERMAN SAYS LATEST PLOT HIGHLIGHTS ONGOING THREAT OF TERROR   Senator Lieberman released the following statement on the plot uncovered today to bomb trans-Atlantic passenger flights: “At airports across the country today, the Department of Homeland Security has moved to tighten security because British authorities have uncovered a plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft bound for the United States from the U.K. I appreciate the work of officials who appear to have significantly disrupted this planned attack. This should serve as the latest, most serious evidence that we are in a war against a brutal enemy that intends to attack us over and over again in the most indiscriminate way. The Department of Homeland Security is doing what it was created to do in the face of a terrorist threat: protecting the United States through the implementation of security measures, international cooperation, and coordination with the law enforcement and intelligence communities.”   ###   Printable Version   « previous Press Release next Press Release »   1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 August 2006 Press Releases   August 28 - Lieberman Faults Federal Government for Lingering Emergency Management Problems   August 25 - Dodd, Lieberman Fault FEMA Decision on Waterbury Disaster Aid   August 10 current Press Release   August 2 - Lieberman Cites Poor Planning, Execution, Oversight of Iraqi Reconstruction Contracts   August 1 - Senators Collins and Lieberman Raise Concerns Over Changes to NASA Mission Statement   August 1 - Lieberman Vows "Stringent Scrutiny" for OIRA Nominee   August 1 - El Senador Lieberman Elogia Legislacion Que Facilitara Servicios de Traduccion Para Victimas De Desastres   August 1 - Lieberman, Smith Fight for Domestic Partners
