As a former career intelligence professional I have a profound appreciation for the value of intelligence. Intelligence disrupts terrorist plots and thwarts attacks. Intelligence saves lives.

I do not - I never believed it's better to kill a terrorist than to detain him. We want to detain as many terrorists as possible so we can elicit the intelligence from them in the appropriate manner so that we can disrupt follow-on terrorist attacks.

We can't gather the intelligence we need to foil future attacks if we are blindly granting terrorists the right to remain silent. But for some reason we've already done that - with the terrorist who tried to bring down Flight 253.

I strongly support the call to greatly expand our human intelligence capability to penetrate al Qaeda and gather critical intelligence to prevent terrorist attacks on our homeland.

Guantanamo allows us to secure dangerous detainees without the risk of escape while at the same time providing us with valuable intelligence information on how best to proceed in the war against terror and prevent future attacks.

I used to lie in bed in my flat and imagine what would happen if there was a zombie attack.

Before you give up hope turn back and read the attacks that were made on Lincoln.

I got a telegraph from my mother who said that my step-father had had a heart attack come home and earn a living. So I went back to England and the only thing I knew to earn any cash was through hairdressing.

Here at home when Americans were standing in long lines to give blood after the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon we squandered an obvious opportunity to make service a noble cause again and rekindle an American spirit of community.

We've been a country that's been fortunate to be protected by two oceans to not have serious attacks on our territory for most of our history. And we were unfortunately reminded in a very devastating way of our vulnerability.

Since the dawn of time traditional marriage - the union between one man and one woman - has been the building block of civilization and at no point in our nation's history has that foundation been under more severe attack than now.

The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.

There is nothing new about these Republican attacks on our family planning decisions. In fact from the moment they came into power Republicans in the House of Representatives have been waging a war on women's health.

When elected officials abandon our environment and ruin our natural resources public health is endangered. I know the importance of providing a clean environment for our children I have attended more than one funeral for a child who has died from an asthma attack.

I mean the fight for a health care bill to cover all Americans and leave none behind is attacked as being a race appeal which is not true but then it's put out in the media as true.

When Religion and Royalty are swept away the people will attack the great and after the great they will fall upon the rich.

The great defense against the air menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.

You can't win with some people. If you're not in government you're criticised for being not serious. If you are in government you're criticised for wanting power. That's the Labour party's line of attack and it's a bit ridiculous.

We have to attack those things which stand in the way of America progress. And what stands in the way of American progress right now is the federal government.

And on the other hand we see that the Israeli government is attacking that part of the Palestinian leader.

One of the essential elements of government responsibility is to communicate effectively to the American people especially in time of a potential terrorist attack or a natural disaster.

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenceless people.

When I am abroad I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.
