"Sears Tower Was A Target," Bush Says

Former President George W.Bush, was in town to promote his memoir, said he worries that the 9/11 attacks will become a "distant memory". The New York Times reported in 2003 that a senior leader of al-Qaida told U.S. interrogators the Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower, was on at least one list of possible targets for the 9/11 hijackers. Chicago Police at the time downplayed the report.

I am glad that the terrorist did not pick the Sears Tower as one of their targets, I believe that the Chicago Police should have taken the threat move seriously. I believe that the Willis Tower will remain to be on their list. We should take all the necessary steps to keep the city and the United States safe from terrorist.
