Ever since we've had electronic communications, and particularly during a time of war, presidents have authorized the electronic surveillance of the enemy.

Military police is very timely for our army.

We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq or on ships around the world. For our security, they are taking the offensive to the terrorists overseas.

The idea of aerial military surveillance dates back to the Civil War, when both the Union and the Confederacy used hot-air balloons to spy on the other side, tracking troop movements and helping to direct artillery fire.

I think we look to the military as something that protects our shores.

Any information about U.S. special operations forces is highly sensitive.

We have the finest military personnel in the world.

I think one of the great things about the United States has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement.

We are moving rapidly into a world in which the spying machinery is built into every object we encounter.

The military is a machine of war. Not a law enforcement agency.
