“People are fed up with corrupt system in which smugglers; murderers and rascals are considered the nobility. Therefore, they are coming to us [the TTP] for seeking peace of mind.”Khurshid Khan, “Exclusive: An interview with Maulana Fazalullah,” Valleyswat.net, April 21, 2007, http://www.valleyswat.net/articles/fazalullah_interview.html.
Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
In Their Own Words:
We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].

I am terribly sad. Throughout my professional and personal life, whenever I was unsure of what to say or think, my friend, the Senator, was always there. He had a unique gift for finding the right words to match any feeling or emotion, often with humor, a smile, and laughter. Now, as I write this without his guidance and kind wisdom, I feel his absence deeply. Having the Senator by my side was one of life's greatest gifts to me, and I know I'm not alone in feeling profoundly touched by him. That was the Senator's great gift—he touched and guided so many of us, either personally or through his example. --Ambassador Mark D. Wallace
