"Unless we win this war, 9/11 was just the beginning. And that is why we cannot fight an uncivilized, evil and merciless enemy the same way we have fought our previous wars. And if this means we have to take extraordinary steps to get information that will save American lives, if this means we must imprison captured terrorists indefinitely, then so be it. There is much at stake here in terms of freedom and lives and a livable world. And we will lose it all if our leaders knuckle under to the whining and complaining and the irrational demands of some people in the Congress, and the news media and other public places who refuse to face reality." --Lyn Nofziger
