Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas
When Osama Bin Laden was killed ... which is a great victory for the United States ... we found alot of documents in his compound on his computer.
One of the things we found was that he was still targeting oil tankers and Houston ... with 1/3rd of the refining capacity in the United States ... is critically important but is a big target."
Alot of people ask me Are we safer today since 9-11? And I would 
answer that by saying yes we are safer ... but we are not safe.
Cong. Michael McCaul Chairman of the U.S. Houses Homeland Security Oversight & Investigations Committee.
Chairman McCaul is Insiders Power Player of the Week" - Dont miss his comments with Jim Cardle regarding the state of National & Texas Border Security as well as the 10th Anniversary of 9-11.
I really think that the Drug Cartels ... while theyre not al-Qaeda ... I do think they are terrorists. 40000 people have been killed in Mexico since Calderon declared his war on drugs ... 6000 in Juarez" said McCaul. The security theyre using in Juarez its the same security theyre using in Afghanistan" McCaul said. As for further securing Texas southern-most border The missing piece is Congressman Cuellar from Laredo and I were able to get 3 UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) for the State of Texas to patrol the skies on the border but the technology piece is not in place yet" said McCaul. We have the fencing but the sensory surveillance equiptment needs to be fully implemented and we clearly need to place more Border Security Agents down along the Texas Border" McCaul said. Congressman McCaul is the former Chief of Counter-Terrorism in the US Attorneys Office Western Dist of Texas. He authored the report A Line in the Sand: Confronting the Threat at the Southwest Border" which exposed the
emergence and threat of the Mexican drug cartels and the potential for terrorists to enter the US through Mexico.
The unsung heroes in our Intelligence Community made it possible for our military to find Osama Bin Laden said McCaul.
The work that the Navy Seal Team 6 did ... We wont know their names or see their faces but we owe them a great debt of gratitude."
I just cant tell you what we owe them as a nation" he said.
