Bush today:

“This is a time for all of us to unite in the defence of liberty, and to step up to the shared duties of free nations.”


Amnesty International this week:

“What would have been unacceptable on September 10, 2001, is now becoming almost the norm.

“What would have been an outrage in Western countries during the Cold War - torture, detention without trial, truncated justice - is readily accepted in some countries today for some people.”
