The facts are that the modern world of terrorism requires a long time to ensure particular cases are looked at properly,

We cannot properly fight terrorism with one legal hand tied behind our back, or give terrorists the unfettered right to defend themselves as they promote and prepare violent attacks on our society.

Recent events in London and elsewhere in the world have shown all too clearly that the threat posed by global terrorism has not gone away,

For a few years now, [the nation's] main concerns have been protecting ourselves from terrorism. Now, the question is, what are we willing to do for a major American city that has some warts and has some challenges.

In a world with millions of international journeys and economic transactions every year, ideas of 'Splendid Isolation' or rhetoric about 'the White Cliffs of Dover' can do nothing to address international criminality, terrorism or serious and organized crime or address patterns of international migration,

There is no place in the world which is somehow exempt from the threat of terrorism. It is a threat to all of us.
