I went to Afghanistan in ’96 to write about terrorist training camps south of Jalalabad and Tora Bora, in the mountains. I was there right before the Taliban took over, literally a few weeks before they took Kabul. The frontline wasn’t terribly active, but it was definitely there. And they swept into power.

I believe that when you are attacked like we were attacked in America by these terrorist groups, that we not only have to respond in kind, we’ve got to go farther.
