“It’s one of the greatest experiences of, certainly my lifetime and it’s been wonderful… I haven’t seen this sense of unity since 9/11, really, really, and 9/11 was this tragic experience that brought us all together and now we’re all brought together in the name of hope. Not since 9/11 have I experienced anything even kind of close to this.”

“How many more years and how many more dead kids? It’s just, you know, it’s way over the amount of people killed on September 11th. We’ve killed more Americans than any terrorist ever did in this war…We were not attacked by either of the nations we invaded. Nineteen [sic] Saudis were on those planes, and we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq.”

America is like Al-Qaeda

Harry Belafonte — Tue, 08 May 2007 12:01:15 +0000

“I think President George W. Bush, I think Cheney, I think Rumsfeld, I think all of these people have lost any moral integrity. I find what we are doing is hugely immoral…Al-Qaeda tortures. We torture. Al-Qaeda’s killed innocent people. We kill innocent people…We have no business doing what we do.”

So what do you suggest, Andy?

Andy Rooney — Tue, 08 May 2007 11:52:19 +0000

“Americans are puzzled over why so many people in the world hate us…We’re trying to protect ourselves with more weapons. We have to do it, I guess, but it might be better if we figured out how to behave as a nation in a way that wouldn’t make so many people in the world want to kill us.”

We don’t use the word â€œterrorist.â€

Stephen Jukes — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 18:15:07 +0000

“We all know that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter and that Reuters upholds the principle that we do not use the word ‘terrorist’. . . . To be frank, it adds little to call the attack on the World Trade Center a terrorist attack.”
