Philip Zelikow Quotations

There is no evidence of new work on military capabilities or plans against this enemy before September 11.

We need national guidelines for using information that we collect and accessing databases. The people who work day in and day out need to know what they are allowed to do, not just what they are not allowed to do.

In the longer run, we need to have our assistance structured in a way that will give us even broader flexibility. The president and his advisers must be able to devise a program that can allocate money as needed among whatever agencies have the skill sets to deliver the capabilities, whether State, Defense, Justice or other government agencies.
