Dr. Rice's record on Iraq gives me great concern. In her public statements she clearly overstated and exaggerated the intelligence concerning Iraq before the war in order to support the President's decision to initiate military action against Iraq.

Despite our very recent appearance on the planet humanity combines arrogance with increasing material demands even as we become more numerous. Our toughness is a delusion. Have we the intelligence and discipline to vigilantly guard against our tendency to grow without limit?

The actions that we take on the counterterrorism front again are to take actions against individuals where we believe that the intelligence base is so strong and the nature of the threat is so grave and serious as well as imminent that we have no recourse except to take this action that may involve a lethal strike.

In the fight against terrorism national agencies keep full control over their police forces security and intelligence agencies and judicial authorities.

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 absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.

In order to be successful against each of these threats we have to have a presence overseas work closely not only with our counterparts in the law enforcement community but also with the intelligence community.

If you look at military and intelligence positions from the 1950s the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has always been against American national interests.

Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.

Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.
