>>>>Actually 19 or 20 Islamic terrorists brought the fight to us. What is sometimes forgotten now is that Al Qaeda was a dimly understood and loosely organized group 15 years ago. You probably already know the English translation of Al Qaeda is "the database." (Hmmm). It meant a closely guarded secret of those who could be trusted. A little medieval? Oh yeah. But the fact is they remained a fringe element of Islam and even of terror. The first many of us in the west ever heard of them was the foiled border crossing in the northwest just before Y2K. And even then we thought the attacks were random terrorist attacks, not coordinated.

>>Show me where I have ever defended the terrorists. They may have thought they were well intentioned but I am not disappointed that they are dead. What I have said -- consistently, over and over -- is that the terrorist stain should not be extended to all Muslims. Any more than the actions of Timothy McVeigh should be projected to you or me, for example.

Where did 14000 / 20000 figures come from ?
