[George W. Bush]

But today, would you even get on a plane that did not check? We DO give up some freedoms for security. After today, you think you have security?

No, Bunny, you've just given up your freedoms and have not one iota more of meaningful security. You've traded liberty for the illusion of security.

[George W. Bush]

Barbra Olsen just confirmed as being on the plane that was crashed into the Pentagon. She called her husband, Ted, before the crash on a cell phone. The passengers had been herded to the back of the plane. What a horrible day for them. How strange and unimaginable a tragedy for the Olsens. And the same for everyone else. We all prepare mentally for heart attacks or car wrecks. But no one ever really thought of dying this way in America before.
