John O. Brennan : (3)

" To me, terrorists should not be able to hide behind their passports and their citizenship, and that includes U.S. citizens, whether they are overseas or whether they are here in the United States. What we need to do is to apply the appropriate tool and the appropriate response. " - John O. Brennan

" We are in this business, whether it be intelligence or the government, to protect freedom, democracy and liberty, not to violate that. " - John O. Brennan

" Terrorists are not 100 feet tall. Nor do they deserve the abject fear they seek to instill. " - John O. Brennan
