(fifth paragraph from the end):
"Among other things, this body would launch secret operations aimed at
'stimulating reactions' among terrorists and states possessing weapons of mass
destruction -- that is, for instance, prodding terrorist cells into action and
exposing themselves to 'quick-response' attacks by U.S. forces.
Such tactics would hold 'states/sub-state actors accountable' and 'signal to
harboring states that their sovereignty will be at risk,' the briefing paper
declares."

This column stands foursquare with the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S.
Secretary of Defense, when he warns that there will be more terrorist attacks
against the American people and civilization at large. We know, as does the
Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, that this statement
is an incontrovertible fact, a matter of scientific certainty. And how can we
and the Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense, be so sure
that there will be more terrorist attacks against the American people and
civilization at large?
Because these attacks will be instigated at the order of the Honorable Donald
H. Rumsfeld, U.S. Secretary of Defense.
