...named countless targets inside the U.S. to stop the pain, all of them immaterial. Indeed, think back to the sudden slew of alerts in the spring and summer of 2002 about attacks on apartment buildings, banks, shopping malls and, of course, nuclear plants. What little of value he did tell us came largely from a more sophisticated approach, using his religious belief in predestination to convince him he miraculously survived his arrest (he was shot three times and nursed to health by U.S. doctors) for a reason: to help the other side. It's that strange conviction that generated...
...believe in name-calling and hysterics. This country is in a place right now where we need respectful educated debate versus screaming, ranting and raving. That's not fruitful. Tell me why the airline system shouldn't be secure. Tell me why port security shouldn't be better. Tell me why border security shouldn't be our first priority.

I have more patience with people. I think, on a personal level, I am able to relate to people better. I look at my brothers John and Fred, both New York City firefighters, and my sister Eileen, whose husband state trooper Joe Aversa was killed in an undercover operation in 1990 and who is now a New York state trooper...
...Meanwhile, the family of hostage Regev, 26, a law student who enjoys coaching soccer, waits for news of their son from the Israeli authorities. It has been a while since the phone rang. "When they have information, they tell us," says Eldad's older brother. "Right now they have none. Since they were captured, we have heard nothing about their condition. We don't know if they are hurt. We are pleading with everybody to give us some sign of life...
