"We do believe that Al-Qaida plans to attack the United States, and that is a result of intelligence that is corroborated at a variety of levels."
Attorney General John Ashcroft
During a press conference Wednesday.
"When I first came on the police department, we were trained in a more paramilitary-type environment. We were trained as soldiers to go out and fight the war on crime, and it was the police versus the community. We came to realize in the mid- to late 80s that that model of policing was failing miserably."
Kathleen O'Toole
