It's human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn't banging loudly on the door.

What we need to do is follow the axiom of World War II which was 'Loose Lips Sink Ships' and the media has really got to follow that.

Modern American war is as easy to script as a B movie.

Fighting terrorism is not unlike fighting a deadly cancer. It can't be treated just where it's visible - every diseased cell in the body must be destroyed.

Because our homeland and very survival are once more at stake, the American people can't afford to treat this new war against terrorism like they did Vietnam.

Writing with you is the only thing that keeps me alive.

We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.
