“Law-abiding Americans deserve to know that their government will not secretly tap their phones, read their medical records, access their library accounts or otherwise invade their personal lives, with no oversight or accountability. Law-abiding Americans also deserve to know that when law enforcement can show an impartial judge clear evidence of criminal activity or a threat to national security, swift and decisive action will be taken to protect the public. That is the balance we must achieve.” KnowsShowsGovernmentActionLawTakenClearRecordsAchieveSecurityJudgingBalanceActivityProtectEvidenceDeserveAccountsThreatLibraryPhonesCriminalsAccessMedicalAccountabilityPersonal LifeNational SecurityLaw EnforcementEnforcementAbidingOversightDecisive ActionMedical Records Author:Ralph Neas
“A lot of folks are still demanding more evidence before they actually consider Iraq a threat. For example, France wants more evidence.

“So far, the Far Eastern focal point of danger is the most active.It is possible, however, that the center of the menace may shift to Europe. Evidence of this is provided, for instance, by [Adolf] Hitler's recent interview given to a French paper. In this interview, Hitler seems to attempt to say peaceful things. But this "peacefulness" of his is so thickly interspersed with threats against France and the Soviet Union that nothing remains of the "peacefulness".” MaySeemsGivenDangerPaperEvidenceEuropeRemainsUnionsThreatActiveInstancePeacefulFranceInterviewsSovietSoviet UnionEasternMenacePeacefulnessFocal Point Author:Joseph Stalin
“ISIS is the near-term threat, and that the longer - or the mid-term challenge is managing the rise of China. There's some evidence that that's the thinking of the [Donald Trump] administration. That's a perfectly reasonable approach. Well, if that's the case, then you surely want to have a united West to deal with both, and you want to have Russia alongside, but maybe not this Russia while it's busy trying to undermine your chief asset, which is a united West.” IfsThinkingWantTryingWellsTermChallengesUnitedDealsCasesTrumpApproachEvidenceThreatWestBusyChinaRussiaChiefsAdministrationReasonableAssetsIsisRise Of China Author:Daniel Fried

“I think there's no question that, even though we may not have the evidence as Richard (Perle) says, that there have been such contacts (between Iraq and al Qaeda). It' s normal. It's natural. These are a lot of bad actors in the same region together. They are going to bump into each other. They are going to exchange information. They're going to feel each other out and see whether there are opportunities to cooperate. That's inevitable in this region, and I think it's clear that regardless of whether or not such evidence is produced of these connections that Saddam Hussein is a threat.” ThinkingFeelsMayHas BeensTogetherActorsOpportunityNaturalClearInformationNormalEvidenceConnectionsThreatIraqContactInevitableRegionsAlsSaddamHusseinBumpsAl Qaeda Author:Wesley Clark
