Stephen Tyson

Let us honor the memory of the dead and strive to prevent others from dying because of terrorist acts. But, in our zeal to combat terrorism let us never loose sight of that core American value: Freedom. If we give up our freedom to gain safety from terrorism, we are Americans no more and the terrorists have won.

Those who would give up a little freedom for a little safety, deserve neither freedom nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
