This administration will say anything to imbue within the American public a sense that 9/11 somehow changed EVERYTHING, that government and policy and ideology before 9/11 is somehow inapplicable after 9/11 - that Clinton's America (indeed, World) has nothing to lend to Bush's. This is of course a strategy designed to make what were before considered to be dangerous or obscene political policies into things which seem more acceptable or even necessary.

Fighting terrorism really has not changed that much at all, we in the west have only been made (forcibly) more aware of it.
