...properly detect and detain and investigate. What is not just unacceptable, but plain wrong, is to say that a person suspected of terrorism deserves the rule book being torn up - basically a retreat to medieval rack and thumbscrew, and that's what Guantánamo is all about. Haven't the threats changed? These are simply not new problems. Every country has faced its challenges. Look at the way [James] Madison and [Thomas] Jefferson corresponded when they were trying to hammer out what rights a people should have. They had just fought off a tyrant, but in the calm...

...however, the Clintons haven't put down roots in the town, at least in the conventional way. They seem to have few close friends here, and no regular church. But Chappaqua is well-suited to them. It keeps a pleasant hometowny charm, and yet is indisputably affluent and worldly. It's home to many successful executives working in nearby New York City. Here in Chappaqua, even with a tall security fence and Secret Service vehicles parked outside, the Clintons' Dutch Colonial (bought in 1999 for $1.7 million) can seem modest.
