“I'm absolutely convinced that the threat we face now, the idea of a terrorist in the middle of one of our cities with a nuclear weapon, is very real and that we have to use extraordinary measures to deal with it.”
Dick Cheney
“In spite of numerous successful hunts for terrorists, the terrorist threat situation has eased only superficially. The bomb attacks in Madrid and London are clear evidence that Europe is no longer just a recruitment and financing area but has become a target of Islamic terrorism.”
Ernst Uhrlau
“It's hard to remember a more vicious terrorist insurgency than this one, a more cynical group than these Islamic terrorists. They deserve special criticism and condemnation by the world community for these despicable acts.”
Nicholas Burns
“I had no idea who the terrorists were ... what a terrorist was.”
Kevin Barrett
“We need a serious discussion over how we can react to a nuclear threat by a terrorist state in an appropriate manner -- and in extreme cases with our own nuclear weapons.”
Rupert Scholz
“Just two weeks ago, millions of Iraqis defied the threats of terrorists and went to the polls to determine their own future. I congratulate the Iraqi people for the courage they've shown in making these elections so successful.”
Bill Frist
“People are calling here with threats, saying we are a terrorist training institute. We've trained thousands of commercial pilots. We've trained astronauts. If any of our students are associated with this, it is very sad.”
