Homeland Security Show | Episode 23

Issues of Season 2! Inside the Courtroom with Khalid Sheikh Mohamed and How Secure is our Border?

As a national, homeland and border security reporter for both theexaminer.com and San Diego Channel 6 TV, Kimberly Dvorak launched Season 2 with an inside-Gitmo discussion of escapades at the military tribunal pre-trial at Guantanamo Bay of admitted 9/11 terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohamed (Ms. Dvorak was one of only 40 reporters permitted to attend). In the second half of the show, we talked about the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano’s assertion in San Diego this past week that the border remains secure — an assertion we have not heard in that context to date — from Ms. Dvorak’s perspective as someone who has reported on the border nearly daily for the past 18 years. The core detail here is whether the assertion of a secure border will be enough to assure passage of Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation, a presidential priority in 2013.
