...still surround us on television screens, and the grief felt by millions of Americans will not pass quickly—nor should it. Yet that grief is widely accompanied by anger at those who destroyed human lives so callously. As the need and demand for justice grows, America must temper its emotions with its values—it must proceed with justice to match its strength. It is vital that our law enforcement and intelligence agencies locate those responsible for the attack, but it is even more important that we not engage in hasty, ill-placed retribution.

...history and reputation for integrity have endowed him with a unique moral stature. Americans--and the rest of the world--want to see him use that to great ends.
