WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States is safer now than it was before the Sept. 11 attacks, but must not relent in fighting terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Sunday.

“I think it’s clear that we are safe - safer - but not really yet safe,” Rice said.

“We’ve done a lot. In terms of homeland, we’re more secure. Our ports are more secure. Our airports are more secure. We have a much stronger intelligence sharing operation,” said Rice, who was President Bush’s national security adviser when al-Qaida masterminded the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Rice defended the invasion of Iraq and the ouster of President Saddam Hussein despite persistent questions about any evidence of a link to the attacks.
