We started seeing the news about the World Trade Center in New York and at first it looked like an accident. And then as we watched we saw the second plane strike. And then we, knew it was, a terrorist attack. It was a few minutes later that the Pentagon was hit. The whole building shook, and I rather stupidly thought that it felt like an earthquake. My Secret Service agent, lead agent, came bursting through the door of my office. And said sir, we have to leave now. This is the first time it really hit me that the United States was vulnerable to mass casualty attacks or terrorism. We'd always treated terrorist attacks before, primarily as a law enforcement problem. Going out and finding the guilty party. Bring 'em to trial and put 'em in the slammer. And then go on with your business. Occasionally, lob a couple of cruise missiles. It was such a massive attack. Killed so many of our people. It clearly was an act of war. It put pressure on the terrorists all over the world, wherever they are. Make everything they do harder. Of course, not everybody, agreed that, that was the right way to go. The president and I felt very strongly it was. And took the necessary steps to make it happen. War is a costly and terrible thing. But I think we did basically the right thing. As I can review it now and think back on it. I think, it was exactly the right thing to do.
