The global response to global terrorism must not endanger fundamental human rights and freedoms.

Wanton killing of innocent civilians is terrorism, not a war against terrorism.

There is no moral equivalency between those who would kill using children, innocent civilians, children and adults, in their homes and in their places of worship, to that of a government that is seeking those terrorists before they can engage in that awful activity.

From a moral point of view, there is no excuse for terrorist acts, regardless of the motive or the situation under which they are carried out.

The liberation of those who commit murder and terrorism is unacceptable.

Warfare against civilians must never be answered in kind. Terror must never be answered with terror.

I'm not for one second condoning the actions of terrorists at all, but I do think there's a kind of terrorism that the media carries out on its own citizens, certainly in this country - and it's fear.

The fight against international terrorism isn't just a fight against a bunch of misguided extremists; it is a fight to defend the values that we hold dear.

We can prevent many people from becoming terrorists by truly listening to people who feel they've been treated unjustly and responding to their concerns with a sense of justice and compassion.

American credibility in the war on terrorism depends on a strong stand against all terrorist acts, whether committed by foe or friend.
