Breaking the personnel, financial, and ideological links will require fighting terrorism on three fronts: Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Britain. In Afghanistan, the U.S., the U.K., and their allies need to continue to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda. They should also hold Pakistan accountable for its failure to act decisively against terrorism. In Britain, the government needs to enforce the tightened immigration and asylum practices, refuse to cooperate with radical Islamism, and promote citizenship and economic opportunity to help immigrants assimilate into British society. http://www.heritage.org/Research/NationalSecurity/bg2337.cfm The Heritage Foundation - Ted R.

The federal government should not assume responsibility for funding the routine operations of state and local reentry programs.

Congress needs to do more to ensure that the reentry programs it funds are rigorously evaluated. http://www.heritage.org/Research/Crime/tst110509a.cfm The Heritage Foundation - David B.
