How could have we allowed this to happen? Congressional investigators say that sensitive stolen United States military equipment has been available for purchase on popular Internet sites. This equipment includes fighter jet parts and nuclear and biological warfare protective gear. The fighter jet parts are from old F-14's, and highly sought after by the largest state sponsor of terrorism, Iran. Undercover investigators have purchased over a dozen these sensitive military items from popular online destinations like Ebay and Craigslist. This is particularly disturbing in the post 9/11 era. How are we going to counter the more serious threats to our security when we are apparently unable to secure our sensitive military inventory? I wish that there was more concern amongst my fellow Americans regarding the many global threats that our Country faces. Have the lessons of September 11th been forgotten? One who forgets the lessons of history are doomed to see them repeat, and nobody wants that. The people need to hold our elected officials feet to the flame over stories like this one.
