Quote of the day

"American law enforcement, and perhaps more importantly the American public, the legal system, and the news media, have got to get it through their heads that such situations [such as the Beslan school seige or the Nord-Ost theater incident] are not pedestrian level criminal episodes committed by the socially misunderstood, where less-than-lethal force should be used and a suspect afforded all his rights. [There will be] attacks on American soil and American citizens by enemy combatants. Rather than the least possible amount of force, the greatest force available must be brought to bear against them if the lives of the innocent are to be saved and deaths of the rescuers are to be prevented."
