 WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House expressed concern Sunday about recent indications of a heightened terrorist threat and said it points to a greater need to promote the benefits of democracy.
"It's a source of concern. And we're responding to it," said Stephen Hadley, President Bush's national security adviser. "It's a good reminder that the struggle against terrorism is going to be with us for a long time."
"We need to also, at the same time, engage in the battle of ideas, the president talking about the vision of democracy versus a vision of despair," Hadley added. "And we need to get the country in a position where it has the tools it needs to deal with the terrorist threat."
