WASHINGTON - President Obama yesterday ordered
intelligence agencies to streamline how terrorism threats are
pursued and analyzed, saying the government has to respond aggressively
to the failures that allowed a Nigerian man to ignite an explosive
on a jetliner on Christmas Day.
Mr. Obama directed the Homeland Security Department to acquire
$1 billion in advanced-technology equipment, including body
scanners, for screening passengers at airports.
He said intelligence reports involving threats would be distributed
more widely among agencies. He instructed the State Department
to review its visa policy to make it more difficult for people
with connections to terrorism to receive visas, while making
it simpler to revoke U.S. visas when questions arise.
"We are at war," Mr. Obama said, releasing an unclassified
version of a report on the attempted attack. He pledged not
to "succumb to a siege mentality" sacrificing America's
civil liberties for security, but he called for expanding the
criteria for adding people to terrorism watch lists.
