"Most dramatically, and perhaps least noticed, is the violence inside Saudi Arabia itself."

Violence

"Until we respect bin Laden, we are going to die in numbers that are probably unnecessary."

Numbers

"Saudi Arabia was, until just a few years ago, probably one of the most safe countries on earth. And now the paper is daily full of activities and shootouts between Islamists who supported Osama bin Laden and the government there."

Government

"Bin Laden is remarkably eager for Americans to know why he doesn't like us, what he intends to do about it and then following up and doing something about it in terms of military actions."

Action

"I'm much better informed than Mr. Clarke ever was about the nature of the intelligence that was available again Osama bin Laden and which was consistently denigrated by himself and Mr. Tenet."

Intelligence

"The uniqueness of the unit was more or less that it was focused on a single individual. It was really the first time the agency had done that sort of effort."

Time

"Our leaders continue to say that we're making strong headway against this problem. And I think we are not."

Leadership

"I think Mr. Clarke had a tendency to interfere too much with the activities of the CIA, and our leadership at the senior level let him interfere too much. So criticism from him I kind of wear as a badge of honor."

Leadership

"Bin Laden does reprehensible activities, and we should surely take care of that by killing him as soon as we can. But he's not an irrational man. He's a very worthy enemy. He's an enemy to worry about."

Care

"Without the connotation good or bad, bin Laden's a great man in the sense that he's influenced the course of history."
