Newswise — "National security is an issue that crosses party lines," says former Maryland Congressman C. Thomas McMillen, who recently returned from the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. "As we approach the anniversary of September 11, 2001—and honor the memory of those who died that fateful day, and we acknowledge the spirit of our men and women in uniform at home and abroad—it is essential that both presidential candidates recognize that those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
For those covering this news, Homeland Security Capital Corporation (HSCC) makes available former Maryland Congressman C. Thomas McMillen to discuss a variety of topics including:
"¢ What are some of the national security challenges facing the next presidential administration?"¢ How difficult will it be for counter-terrorism intelligence to be transferred from the Bush Administration to a McCain or Obama presidency?"¢ What is the current status of the world's loose nuclear fissile material?"¢ What is the role of the public vs. the private sector in keeping Americans safe both at home and abroad?"¢ What new technologies are available to aid governments and individuals toward improved security efforts?
HSCC is a company engaged in the development and consolidation of businesses within the fragmented homeland security industry, providing tools for not only prevention but also response to chemical, radiological, nuclear, and environmental disasters. Whether by nature, human error, or malice, tragedies on a massive scale can and will continue to befall us on American soil. And while prevention is a key component of keeping American citizens safe, it is only half of the equation. When disaster strikes, whether in the form of a tornado or nuclear reactor leak, a hurricane or hostile attack, a diligently prepared response must be swiftly initiated in order to minimize damages and lives lost. While it is the responsibility of the government to protect its citizens in the case of such events, we must be ready to respond to disasters as well.
