We always think about the rights of the terrorists. But if there is an attack that you could have prevented, you also have to be able to look into the eyes of the relatives.

August Hanning

The terrorists are still here. I really do worry about our troops' being sent overseas and depleting our homeland security.

Thomas Murphy

Prompt action must be taken at anywhere terrorists are detected and are vulnerable to commit acts of sabotage like this.

Najib Tun Razak

Further, the next generation of terrorists will grow up in a digital world, with ever more powerful and easy-to-use hacking tools at their disposal.

Dorothy Denning

The terrorists who come here for suicide attacks are attending training bases in Pakistan and are getting all their equipment there. We've arrested a large number who are either Pakistani or came from Pakistan.

Yousuf Stanezai

During the interrogation, the terrorists provided the Iraqi army with the names and expected locations of their cell leaders. Today, the Iraqi army took action on that information and seized two higher-level terrorists.

Terry Cook

I call upon the leaders of the Islamic countries and the Arab countries to close ranks because this is really, basically it's our fight, ... Those [terrorists] are people who claim to be part of Islam, they are not. They claim to be part of the Arabs, they are not.

Ayad Allawi

What we're most concerned about is the safety of our own soldiers. It only tarnishes our image even further and serves as fodder for the insurgents and terrorists.

Arsalan Iftikhar

It could be that because we were vigilant, because we were on guard, because of the warnings we issued, it deterred the terrorists.

Bruce Hoffman

What happened today was the act of cowards. Often people who do these things scurry back into the gutters they came from. I can say with confidence that we will spare no effort to track down and punish those responsible. It's important for the world to know that our nation will not bow to terrorists and faceless acts of cowardice.

Heather Wilson

Though evidence shows that the terrorists are interested in acquiring nuclear weapons to use against our cities, a learned writer for the New York Review of Books insists that the real weapons of mass destruction are world poverty and environmental abuse. Of course, world poverty is rarely mentioned by terrorists, and those known to be involved have almost all been well fed and are well to do.

John Leo

I don't think that we should let it get in the way because that's exactly what the terrorists want to see, is us afraid.

Lisa Roberts

The new Bali attacks after the London attacks show the resiliency of terrorists to strike targets when our guard is down.

Gloria Arroyo

Terrorists are trying to drive a wedge between Sunnis and Shiites.

Ahmed Hassan

No bank should be helping to transfer money to terrorists who maim and murder American citizens. People should not be able to collect frequent flyer miles using their credit cards to donate to organizations that our government officially designates as terrorists.

Sarri Singer

We do not agree ... that the human rights of the victims are more important than the human rights of the terrorists.

Graham Watson

There are no terrorists' cells actively operating in Malaysia as far as the government is concerned.

Najib Tun Razak

Today's announcement fails to answer the fundamental question: Will the government's deportation plans result in suspects being sent to countries with a known record of torture? What has always separated us from the terrorists is that we do not torture people or send them to be tortured - that is the standard we need to maintain.

James Welch

We have checked this information out and feel confident that the two individuals in question are not these two terrorists.

Laura Eimiller

We've said more than once that ... the Syrians should be more serious about controlling their borders and about preventing the penetration of terrorists into Iraq.

Ibrahim Jaafari

We worry about terrorists in our country. The bullied child walks into school every day knowing his terrorist is there.

Joey Thomas

I think Grozny, as well as other places, will be freed from terrorists and the terrorists themselves destroyed.

Valery Manilov

Providing material support to terrorists.

Hemant Lakhani

There was no specific intelligence inputs on this attack - the terrorists keep their operation top secret or else there will be no attack at all.

Alok Sinha

Presence of American troops in the Strait of Malacca could lead to some kind of reaction from terrorists. Once people start shooting in territorial waters, then the question of sovereignty is sharpened.

Alan Chan

I'm not so concerned about the drug issue. The situation I'm concerned about is, what about the guns? What about the terrorists using these airports as targets?

Tom Cash

We can debate anything they want, even terrorists who misrepresent our faith, but the Prophet Muhammad is off limits. The attack on the prophet is an attack on us.

Hussam Ayloush

They have met and reconciled, and are continuing to maintain good relations with each other. The blasts were perpetrated by terrorists from outside.

Yusuf Kalla

The owners of Dubai Ports World did not prevent Dubai from being a conduit for the flow of people and money in the 9/11 conspiracy. How can anyone trust them to prevent terrorists from using our ports to smuggle weapons of mass destruction into the U.S.

William Doyle

I worry about terrorists taking advantage of us when we are feeling down.

Craig David

Name the ideology behind the terrorists.

Walid Phares

While the terrorists possess all kinds of advanced weapons.

Bayan Jabr

You don't make peace by writing a [public relations] article in the op-ed segment of The New York Times. You make peace by stopping terrorism. And a [public relations] campaign is no substitute for stopping terrorism, and Arafat for the past 16 months has not stopped the campaign of terrorists against our innocent civilians.

Ranaan Gissin

We heard through their own words what they wanted to say rather than through the American media, who always portrays them as terrorists. It makes sense to talk to people.

Liz Viering

The fact that they were arrested does not make them a terrorists. It is something that the investigation will determine.

Nebojsa Pavkovic

I can only assume that, when the vice president of the United States lobbies the Congress on behalf of cruel and unusual punishment and the need to be able to do that in order to get information out of potential terrorists... that it's still going on.

Larry Wilkerson

The president knows where to draw the line. He has said we need to tighten the laws and measures on suspected terrorists while protecting our citizens. But he recognizes that we do not want to go down the route of the past.

Dino Djalal

Politicians and perhaps even some TV channels left no stone unturned to incite communal violence in this peace loving city. I give full credit to people here for maintaining utmost calm even after they had been badly hurt by the act of terrorists.

Mahendra Tanna

Right now, these are the tactics of terrorists ... We don't have a good number on how many (non-Iraqi fighters) there are, but we know they don't have a future in Iraq.

Vincent Brooks

I think that in the United States, we tend to brand people as terrorists. Palestinians are nothing but hospitable, gracious, friendly (and) easy people to be with. It's one of those modern mysteries of life ... how we judge people from other countries.

Rev. Carleen Gerber

Yugoslavia and Serbia will fight against terrorists regardless of whether a political agreement is reached or not.

Ivica Dacic

This is a blurring of the margins of people who are engaged in non-violent political speech, an attempt to bunch them in with extremists and terrorists.

Imran Waheed

The attorney general conceded that the Patriot Act isn't perfect, and that it can be changed without damaging law enforcement's ability to stop terrorists.

Gregory Nojeim

Law-abiding citizens value privacy. Terrorists require invisibility. The two are not the same, and they should not be confused.

Richard Perle

It's important for our community and it's important for the world to see that there are Muslims in America who are not terrorists, who are for peace.

Sunita Mehta

I'm confident that the terrorists are aware that from the curb to the cockpit we've got additional security measures that didn't exist a couple of years ago.

Tom Ridge

Those who engage as middlemen for terrorists, those who are willing to do and say and sell anything to any terrorist group in order to make a profit for themselves, in my view are instruments of the terrorists.

Christopher Christie

Dubai has acknowledged the absolute importance of securing cargo against terrorists.

Robert Bonner

Like Afghanistan produced the last generation of terrorists, Iraq will produce the current and future generations of terrorists.

Rohan Gunaratna

By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger, ... They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic.

Richard Bush

Today's vote deals a severe blow to the ambitions of the terrorists and sends a clear message to the world that the people of Iraq will decide the future of their country through peaceful elections, not violent insurgency.

Allen Abney

They realize that when they blow up a pipeline in Iraq or in Sudan or anywhere in the world, this translates immediately into a price rise in all the markets. It is much easier for terrorists to blow up an oil facility or take out a tanker somewhere in the world than to infiltrate into the United States and blow up the World Trade Center.

Gal Luft

They're all terrorists except for the ones who are entirely innocent of everything.

Muneer Ahmad

All of the Sunnis are facilitating the terrorists. They have little influence compared with the Kurds and Shiites, so they allow the terrorists to operate to create pressure and get political concessions. So they should be killed, too ... the Sunni political leaders in Baghdad are supporting the insurgency, too, and there will be a day when they are tried for it.

Col. Sabar Saleem

All of you know the neighborhoods that harbor terrorists, the tribes that have terrorists and those that don't.

Larry Hardiman

Terrorists only target those areas that can make an impact. Bomb blasts even occur in the green zone of Baghdad.

Rauf Siddiqui

[No group has claimed responsibility for the blast, but one government official ascribed it to terrorists.] This is definitely an act of terrorism, hitting a civilian bus and killing civilians in the process, ... The president is very concerned about this.

Roilo Golez

No one knows when Francine Busby became an expert on port security. What we do know is that Busby has accepted money and support from some far-left, anti-war groups that don't exactly emphasize toughness when it comes to dealing with terrorists.

Jonathan Collegio

The terrorists thought they could destroy America. How wrong they were. Instead of weakening us, they made us stronger.

Bob Taft

We are taking collectively very big decisions -- for (powers of) arrest, for money laundering -- in all the chapters where we need new cooperation against terrorists.

Romano Prodi

We will never forget the passengers of Flight 93, who courageously confronted the terrorists, defeating another planned attack on America. They are the heroes for our times.

Bob Taft

Without the independent commission to understand what went wrong on 9/11, we are not going to be able to fix the problems that allowed these terrorists to kill 3,000 people a year ago.

Stephen Push

If you remind people that terrorists are actually planning to kill us, that tends to support the case made by President Bush.

Cliff Kincaid

The Palestine Authority cannot be changed or reformed from within. It is a corrupt terrorist police state. Any challenge to the terrorists who run it will be ruthlessly suppressed. Many Palestinians genuinely interested in peace have been assassinated over the years for that very reason.

David Horowitz

The implication is that they were possibly conducting reconnaissance on that day, ... We know that is part of a terrorist's methodology: to check timings, layout and security precautions.

Peter Clarke

Terrorists will turn any concession into a weapon against us. It will happen again and again and again.

Natan Sharansky

Everybody thinks we are terrorists, and we are working guys. They don't give me a chance.

Juan Santiago

We should make no mistake. The president has used his constitutional power to release convicted terrorists, despite the opposition of federal law enforcement officials, despite objections from the law enforcement community and despite the pleas of the victims and families of the dead -- killed in their wave of bomb attacks.

Gilbert Gallegos

Certainly, its important to protect the water system and that covers, certainly, everything from vandals to terrorists.

James Q. Wilson

We feel like we are being held hostage by civilian terrorists. It is really sad. It is affecting everyone. We can't lead a normal life. We don't know how much damage it's causing, and we have to be prepared all the time. If rocks come down, we are going to have to evacuate.

Gary Burke

An Iraq at peace with its neighbors, an ally in the war on terror, with a representative government that respects the human rights of all Iraqis and security forces sufficient to maintain domestic order and deny safe haven to terrorists.

Thomas Turner

If the administration is serious about keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists, the last thing it should do is start a reprocessing program that makes it easier for terrorists to steal nuclear bomb-usable material.

Dr. Edwin Lyman

Jerusalem is the city where Jewish kings are buried, and not Arab terrorists.

Yosef Lapid

The governor and I and the law enforcement community share that concern. We've shared it for a long, long time, ... It's on a list of many things that terrorists can use against us. The event in Kenya is not the first time we thought about these things.

James Kallstrom

We are not training terrorists, ... Actually, it's the opposite of that. We are assisting in training counter-terrorists, anti-terrorists, those kinds of things.

Frank Fish

In Miami, there were only a couple thousand protesters in a city that is heavily Republican and includes a lot of right-wing terrorists. It was favorable territory for the police. They had the protesters outnumbered 10-1.

Tom Hayden

I confirm that 12 terrorists were killed by our forces, and some others managed to escape.

Abdul Samad Lasi

In this day and age, there is no public official or government office that wants to get caught in the situation that, following a terrorists attack, it is found out that they didn't tell folks they were supposed to tell about it. So what we have is a flood of information. Every little scrap of into that suggests there might be a threat is put out there and I think that is a mistake.

Jim Walsh

You have to deal with the military capabilities and consequences that's the most imminent and direct threat. You can't just kill terrorists; you have to change the environment from which they come.

Jeffrey White

They support terrorists, agents behind murders and insecurity directly or indirectly.

Ricardo Lagos

What this study makes clear is that what the President and Congress have committed so far is just a down payment on what it will take to ensure that the terrorists don't succeed in destroying not just the two towers, but also America's and the world's financial capital.

Alan G. Hevesi

The aim was to assassinate the commander of the Wolf Brigade, but the suicide bomber failed to reach his aim, and he blew himself up. And this is the nature of the fight between us and the terrorists.

Baqir Jabbur

I do think there's been progress in some areas. In the last four years, for example, I think the world has become a tougher place for terrorists to operate in.

Richard Haass

I had no idea who the terrorists were ... what a terrorist was.

Kevin Barrett

The modified provisions will provide for the protection of civil liberties of United States citizens while permitting the federal government to continue investigating terrorists and protecting U.S. national security.

Andy Fisher

A bunch of terrorists.

George Smitherman

I've never seen this country united against something more than they are united against these terrorists, ... They have seen the kind of purposeless hate and bloodshed that (terrorists) espouse, and everybody is against them.

Saud Al faisal

Blame. That's what this case is about, ... The plaintiffs in this case want you to blame the Port Authority for the murderous acts of fanatical terrorists who planned and schemed for years ... who believed that it was their religious duty to wage a holy war against this country.

Marc Kasowitz

I tend not to believe what the terrorists say. In the last 3.5 years there's never been a successful suicide bombing coming out of Gaza.

Gil Kleiman

We have lists that are having baby lists at this point; they're spawning faster than rabbits. If we have over 300,000 known terrorists who want to do this country harm, we've got a much bigger problem than deciding which names go on which list. But I highly doubt that is the case.

Timothy Sparapani

Cindy Sheehan, who are just encouraging the terrorists, endangering our men and women in uniform, and lowering troop morale with their antics.

William Greene

This is a very sad day for the Blackwater family, ... We lost a number of our friends to attacks by terrorists in Iraq, and our thoughts and prayers go out to their family members.

Gary Jackson

It is my understanding from briefings that I have had with high-level sources within the intelligence organizations of this country that at least two of the identified terrorists so far were people known to intelligence and immigration agencies.

Joseph Atick

We won't let this rabble take away our freedom. Jews and non-Jews have to unite to stop neo-Nazi terrorists forcing us off the streets again.

Paul Spiegel

The Port Authority respects the jury's findings but in this case the jury was egregiously incorrect. On February 26, 1993, the World Trade Center bombing was an act of terrorists for which terrorists alone are responsible.

Marc Kasowitz

'God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan,' ... 'And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq' . . . And I did.' .

Nabil Shaath

After a few failures in the struggle with terrorists, public opinion has been very critical of the lack of systematic activity between government agencies. This is an attempt to answer these complaints.

Sergei Markov

We believe that the terrorists will strike again. So does every responsible expert that we have talked to.

Thomas H. Kean

How can we believe that future terrorists will be detected in time?

George Gekas

[Martin Kaplan, associate dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California, said this speech couldn't replicate the bullhorn moment, when Bush vowed payback for the terrorists.] It was seen by everyone as authentic, genuine and spontaneous, ... Everything he's done in the wake of Katrina has been staged and political.

Martin Kaplan

None of these terrorists shows any remorse. They are proud of what they do.

Reuven Paz

We know people who have seen the terrorists.

Navneet Sikera

Who are beneficiaries of the Court's protection? Members of various minorities including criminals, atheists, homosexuals, flag burners, illegal immigrants (including terrorists), convicts, and pornographers.

Patrick Buchanan

Despite the intention of the terrorists ... and deliver Iraq's message of peace, democracy and human rights.

Ahmad Chalabi

In three cleanup operations yesterday and today, nine suspected terrorists were arrested, and two Pakistan is were among them.

Assadullah Khalid

We are closely monitoring the situation at this time, and we will work with our domestic and international partners to actively pursue these dangerous terrorists.

Richard Kolko

We do not negotiate with terrorists. We put them out of business.

Scott Mccellan

That arc of conflict has created a sort of regional super failed-state that terrorists and criminals have used to base their operations and to exploit the very precious diamond resources there.

Susan Rice

Programs such as this almost always prove to be ineffective in gathering information on possible terrorists. Even though they are created with the best of intentions, they only serve to reinforce stereotypes and cause innocent people to be subjected to government scrutiny.

Christine Link

But as I often say, terrorists won't check our party registration before they blow us up.

Jane Harman

It is simply difficult to understand that anyone could believe that sophisticated terrorists trying to attack the subway system are going to be deterred. The only people being searched are innocent New Yorkers.

Christopher Dunn

My brother was killed when the terrorists started a campaign against doctors. He was one of their victims.

Abu Mohammed

At the forefront of global jihad are technologically savvy, Western-educated terrorists.

Yael Shahar

I see it as an ongoing attempt by terrorists to undermine democratic Indonesia.

John Howard Payne

A clear-cut victory over the insurgents and terrorists.

Ayad Allawi

The terrorists know what is at stake, which is why they are pulling out all the stops to derail our efforts. They understand that a free and democratic Iraq is a serious blow to their interests.

Elizabeth Dole

The very idea of freedom incites fear in the hearts of terrorists across the world.

Elizabeth Dole

[The Foley campaign has criticized Hennessey for accepting the endorsement of Ray Wysolmierski, president of the Greater Farmingville Community Association, who compared undocumented workers to terrorists.] We have significant political differences, ... I'm happy I've been able to get his support in the general election.

Edward Hennessey

They (the kidnappers) were terrorists from the south. We have not identified their specific group . . . We have launched pursuit operations.

Edilberto Adan

The problem we have is $36,000 going to keep bingo halls safe from terrorists. We don't see that as a wise use of money.

Ed Frank

In the last decade, the terrorist threats that China confronted with were mainly terrorist activities of 'East Turkistan' terrorist forces inside and outside Chinese territory, international terrorist groups and terrorists.

Zhao Yongchen

Since the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States , terrorist threat has been in existence and evolved with time and great changes have also taken place in the composition of terrorists, terrorist activity and the targets of terrorist attacks.

Zhao Yongchen

I think the biggest threat to the United States by far is weapons of mass destruction in the hands of terrorists or renegades or outlaw states, which is a huge threat, ... The Very Best Men.

Evan Thomas

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

We will show people the maps ... The terrorists will be on the mountains and shoot rockets at us.

Emily Amrusy
