"We must strengthen the activities of the Federal government as we protect the American people from terrorism...We must restore the credibility of this Department, which has been so badly shaken by allegations of improper political interference....and we must reinvigorate the traditional missions of the Department. Without letting down our guard in the fight against global terrorism, we must embrace the Department’s historic role in fighting crime, promoting civil rights, preserving the environment, ensuring fairness in the marketplace, and protecting the interests of our fellow citizens."

Eric Holder, Attorney General of The United States of America, February 3, 3009

Definitely cannot let down our guard against global terrorism....such difficult times these are in so many areas.

Right on - laws for the people not for the priveleged.

I think abandoning our civil rights and moral standards has hurt the fight against global terrorism much more than it has helped.
