I think if the Patriot Act were in place in the summer of 2001 ... connecting the dots would have been so basic and easy and fundamental.

The Patriot Act would have saved 3,000 lives, and what's scary about that is once they start tinkering with it, it could cost not just 3,000, but tens of thousands of lives. September 11 whetted the terrorists' appetites ... There's nothing like success to motivate people.

I think it's very important that they understand the people who were killed.

This is a ruse to convey to the public that they somehow are doing something.

When the United States government tries to do things like expediting and making things easier for people, they create a pretext for letting in illegal immigrants.
