Ouch. Looks like it isn't going too well. For us anyway.

All those billions spent in the US and it looks like they have not improved the safety of their citizens one bit. Read the article here.

But it's not all bad news. Praise was given as "good progress" had been made in encouraging Muslim nations to integrate into global trade and clamping down on money laundering.

They seem to be doing the same thing here in the UK. We have clamped down on money laundering so now many find it awkward to open a bank account and have to meet the arbitrary criteria of bank clerks. Helps with tracking money for tax purposes though. Like most things an unexpected bonus for the Government but of little use in combating terrorism. And trade is always good for lining pockets at a good price of course.
