I have traveled on El Al and was impressed with its security program. While we cannot draw exact parallels between the El Al and the entire U.S. airline industry, we should closely examine all such models and learn from their experience." |

In the wake of the World Trade Center disaster, we certainly need defensive measures to prevent another occurrence and to ensure the safety of air travel, as well as the offensive measures already initiated by President Bush. But confiscating pocket knives and sewing scissors from little old ladies will do nothing to fill the now-empty planes with confident passengers. |

While refusing to respond to specifics about the attack or the ongoing investigation, Reno said she agrees with expanded wiretapping authority for law enforcement pursuing terrorist cells, if handled appropriately.

One federal law enforcement official and firearms expert said stun guns are more commonly used to control a person who is already contained in some way.
"That's fine if you have a passenger who is unruly because of too many Bloody Marys," he said, but in the case of the Sept. 11 hijackings, "These guys were trained to strong arm flight attendants in an instant. They were on a suicide mission." |

"The war Netanyahu and the neocons want, with the United States and Israel fighting all of the radical Islamic states, is the war bin Laden wants, the war his murderers hoped to ignite when they sent those airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
If America wishes truly to be isolated, it will follow the neoconservative line. Conservatives should stand squarely with President Bush � and Gen. Powell."

"We need to punish those responsible for the heinous acts, but we do not need to restrict the freedom of U.S. citizens. Those who insist on giving up some of our freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism may have a different agenda - that is, advancing State power at the expense of the individual liberty of law-abiding Americans." --Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D. |
