Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld recently challenged the U.S. defense and intelligence communities to effectively combat international terrorism by reassessing their operating procedures and tailoring them toward defeating this new enemy. Rumsfeld directed these leaders to 'get in the heads' of terrorist organizations, predict their moves, and effectively counter their offensives. Part of this challenge includes an assessment of the conventional defenses of national and international landmarks on which the United States places great sentimental and financial value. Although these assessments are starting to take place within American borders, the challenge has not been heeded in Central America, where the Panama Canal (the Canal), a crucial element in U.S. foreign investment, stands undefended against acts of terrorist aggression.
