merrie says:

Antiterrorist: Obama will also make his first public visit to the National Counterterrorism Center today where he will deliver remarks.

It’s the first terrorism-related event for the president since the arrest of terror suspect Najibullah Zazi last month in Denver.

Obama’s remarks come a day after Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director Robert Mueller, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano stressed the importance of cooperation between federal and local law enforcement agencies to stop terrorism at a Monday law enforcement conference in Denver.
