Can America be defeated from within? The simple fact is, that there is an underground terrorist apparatus inside the United States, along with foreign support and leadership. The essential ideology of this movement by a shadowy enemy with no visible armies or countries, within small enclaves, is “anti-imperialism.”

All this on top of perceived — quite possibly real — threats of terrorists entering the United States overland from Mexico or Canada, along with the fear that Latin American or Caribbean staging areas could be used to ultimately attack this country.

Similar in country sleeper-cell terrorists, or homegrown extremists, recently were defeated in the United Kingdom after British officials strategically utilized proactive intelligence methods to learn of aircraft terrorism plots by what was described as “British born Muslims.” This successful operation by British officials, against an unconventional and nontraditional cadre of criminals, was a textbook example of terrorism interdiction.

The sad truth is that much of the U.S. law enforcement community, with the exception of a few federal agencies, has yet to grasp the concept of “anti-terrorism policing.” Many of the progressive strategies of this discipline come from within the intelligence community, and they are known as “tradecraft.” Too, the intelligence apparatuses in terms of targeting acquisition, analysis and product/dissemination are well removed from traditional law enforcement methods.

Last August, a police terrorism conference in New York for U.S. police officials heard complaints about a reduction in Department of Justice (DOJ) funds for local crime fighting. Funding had been reduced from US$4.4 billion in 2001 to US$2.5 billion in 2006. Much of this funding for traditional policing and community oriented policing initiatives. However, funds soared for anti-terrorism in the form of specialized equipment and training.
