I hope you’ve been following [the conversation](http://www.cato-unbound.org/category/conversation/september-2006/) this month at *Cato Unbound* on “9/11 Five Years After: Reassessing the Terrorist Threat and Homeland Security.” It has heated up over the past couple days with great new posts from [John Mueller](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2006/09/26/john-mueller/threats-overblown/), [Clark Kent Ervin](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2006/09/26/clark-kent-ervin/al-qaeda-and-the-cold-war/), [Veronique de Rugy](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2006/09/26/veronique-de-rugy/knee-jerk-security/), and [Timothy Naftali](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2006/09/27/timothy-naftali/overestimating-the-threat-is-not-the-best-way-to-deal-with-it/).
