CIA and FBI on Terror Threat

NPR's David Welna reports on the appearance today of CIA director George Tenet and FBI Director Robert Mueller before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The Osama bin Laden tape was discussed only briefly. In their testimony, Tenet and Mueller did emphasize the threat that al Qaeda poses to Americans. Tenet warned of possible attacks this week using a "dirty bomb."
