...Insult followed those injuries when she learned that because no one was killed in the blast a French press report had quipped: "The bomb created more noise than damage." Other shocks awaited: the insurance policy covering the restaurant provided only for property destroyed by terrorist acts, not human injury. Health-care services were uninterested and unprepared for the special needs of terror victims. The legally trained Rudetzki decided to do something. She began relentlessly lobbying politicians and administrators for legislation adapted to victims of terrorism, a scourge she correctly predicted would affect increasing numbers of people. She founded SOS Attentats...

...greeted the news that the 72-year-old Swedish diplomat had subjected his inspectors to a program of "cultural sensitivity" training so as to avoid them unnecessarily offending the Iraqis.

Perhaps what is most frustrating of all is this: on a Monday afternoon, with 14 more dead because of the anger and terror coming from Jenin, we need no petition’s urging to end occupation.

...embarrassingly small amount of debate. Cowed by the noxious jingoism of the bill’s supporters, few in Congress investigated its provisions and even fewer raised objections to them. There is no doubt that those were trying times for our nation, but so little discussion was an insult to the traditions of free and open inquiry on which this country has prided itself. The fruits of the bill were rotten long before its inception, and its first year in effect constituted an assault on civil liberties.
