...with a dual tragedy—a loss of life accompanied by a loss of liberty. By now, Americans should know all about the sort of measures Putin put on the table—the kind that won’t likely do much to help the war on terror, but will do a great job handing the government useful tools to crack down on ordinary citizens. In this case, think the PATRIOT Act on speed...
After Sept. 11, it was a common saying that America would never be the same. A free country rocked by terror had to find a new balance between liberty and security. A similarly dangerous logic is now at work in the Russian Federation, with a vital difference. It is not that Russia will never be the same. Indeed, the problem is that the former superpower is becoming yet another iteration on the same old Russian model. Russia’s young experiment with democracy looks more doomed than ever in the hands of an increasingly power-hungry ex-KGB officer...
...will tell you this, that we've gone backward in Iraq, and we've gone backward on the war on terror. I'm not President until Jan. 20, if America elects me. I don't know what I'll find in Iraq.

Ninety percent of the casualties and costs are being borne by Americans. That's inexcusable...

George Bush diverted attention from that. And we're spending...
KERRY I will fight a more effective war on terror, and over the next weeks the American people will see the phoniness of the Bush efforts. They haven't done port security; they're cutting cops; they haven't taken assault weapons off the streets. Firehouses are opened in Iraq; they're shut in the United States. Port security: 95% of our containers come in, and they are uninspected. The fact is that these guys talk tough, but they haven't done what is necessary to make America as safe as it can be. There have been more terrorist incidents...
