William Cohen just spoke on CNN via telephone and said some scary things

I can roughly quote William Cohen from his live interview on CNN within the last 10 minutes: "We are going to have to make some tough decisions in this country. We are going to have to "garbled" when making choices between security and civil liberties."

I guess that they can scrap Echelon now! It's proven itself to be totally worthless.

We can't nuke them they have our oil. We need to invade, conquor and indefinitely occupy all Arab countries and commandeer their oil resources.

Which is it?

Would a libertarian USA have been involved overseas enough to draw this sort of hate from whoever did this? Someone steals to benefit themselves, they murder out of hate.

Was Al Haig in the room with Cohen. Civil liberties and the rule of law must always be protected if our nation stands for anything at all.

I heard Biden too. He's a dildoe who someone can't seem to understand that we've NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A BREACH ON US SOIL.

Those who want to sacrifice liberty for security, can move to New York - the safest place on earth if Hitlery and Schumer are to be believed.

A nice tight orbit by a few HC-130 gunships would make me stand up and salute!!!!

We have the firepower... now lets plan it, and most of all, execute it!!!

"Nuke 'em All and let God sort 'em out."

This was my first thought. Totally agree.

6:15 west coast time (LAPD) is 9:15 east coast time. This started at 9:00 eastern time.

Well, consider this: When I was growning up, you could get on a plane as a passenger without having luggage or your personal things checked ... But today, would you even get on a plane that did not check? We DO give up some freedoms for security.
No, we give up some freedoms for the empty promise of security. If there were true security for what we've given up, that security would have prevented this.

The fact that this happened is proof that we've given up some freedom for absolutely nothing.

Hasn't done much good, as demonstrated today.

Which makes me think that you are too young to remember the conditions that existed at that time that precipitated our current security measures. I would say our security has served us well ... and looks like it will have to be tightened. A shame.

You are 100% right. But I'm afraid we'll just bomb a few aspirin factories and empty buildings. The only answer is massive retaliation with maximum deaths--remember Hiroshima ans Nagasaki, that sure pacified Japan!
