New York Times article, A Wall as a Weapon (February 23, 2004): "Few would question Israel's right to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks like the one yesterday, even to build a security wall if that were an appropriate means. It is also clear where such a wall would be built if security were the guiding concern: inside Israel, within the internationally recognized border, the Green Line established after the 1948-49 war. The wall could then be as forbidding as the authorities chose: patrolled by the army on both sides, heavily mined, impenetrable. Such a wall would maximize security, and there would be no international protest or violation of international law."


 

American Amnesia interview On Historical Amnesia, Foreign Policy, and Iraq (February 17, 2004): "Let's take the role of corporations in modern life.

John Bolender's interview On Terrorism (January, 2004): "It's close to a historical universal that the term "terror" is used for their terror against us and our clients, not our terror against them. Heads of states can qualify as "terrorists," when they are official enemies."
