C will be Chicago if Paul Bremer is the architect, because he had a speech of making the Chicago radioactive by polluting the lake. So that thing will be huge.<br><br>I don't even want to know what A will be.<br><br>I can't get The Hague out of my head. Bremer spends a couple of years there. He has detailed knowledge about the city, so he knows the best places and there a plenty of highly symbolic places. So it depends on the Dutch election since the cabinet has just fallen however both the Democrats equivalent, Christian Democrats and Conservatives were all in favor of Iraq and Afghanistan, so it'll be pro-Bush team regardless of the outcome.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>Ambassador L.

What we said, and I am now quoting from the report, is that "in <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>extraordinary circumstances</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, when a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>catastrophe is beyond the capabilities of local, state, and other federal agencies, or is directly related to an armed conflict overseas, the President may want to designate DoD as a lead federal agency</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->." The Commission did not recommend or even suggest an automatic leading role for the Defense Department in all cases. But if we undertake contingency planning for a catastrophic terrorist attack in the U.S., we must consider all plausible contingencies, including the possibility of a <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>federalized National Guard force operating under the direction of the Secretary of Defense</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. Not to do so would be irresponsible. The best way to minimize any threat to civil liberties in such an extraordinary scenario is through careful planning, including a thorough analysis of the relevant laws, the development of appropriate guidelines, and realistic training. We don't want another overreaction due to lack of planning like we saw <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>in the wake of Pearl Harbor</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->. Thus, the Commission recommended that the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of Defense, and the Attorney General develop detailed plans for this contingency.<br><br>(...)<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/2000_hr/000608_bremer_terrorism.htm">www.fas.org/irp/congress/...rorism.htm</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>To dbeach et al.: Being wrong is not the issue.
