Anderson Cooper on Paris: Every Intel Expert I've Talked Surprised This Hasn't Happened In U.S. (RealClearPolitics)

DAVID GERGEN: I would assume that this is a moment when the United States in a leadership role with France can help pull the nation more closely together in questions of of borders. I mean, the French can't handle these thousands of people who have in one way or another engaged -- they couldn't keep up with these folks because there were so many different potential threats. And the border is really important. To me, the other question is, what does it mean for the United States? And do you think there the chances of such an attack in the United States has gone up? 

ANDERSON COOPER: I do. I mean, every intelligence -- former intelligence official I've talked to has said they're surprised this has not occurred already in the United States.
