Some Comments Are Too Good Not To Be Repeated

"It's very hard to fight a terrorist war without intelligence. By
definition, you can only win battles against terrorists
preemptively---that's to say, you find out what they're planning
to do next Thursday and you stop it cold on Wednesday. Capturing
them on Friday while you're still pulling your dead from the
rubble is poor consolation." ---Mark Steyn
