QUOTABLE

"We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people, but obviously we're not completely safe. ... It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America."

PRESIDENT BUSH

"This new threat is enormously serious and is an ominous reminder that we must be more vigilant than ever. Five years after 9/11 ... our misguided policies are making America more hated in the world and making the war on terrorism harder to win."

SEN. EDWARD KENNEDY, D-Mass.

"This is the kind of success that our intelligence and law enforcement personnel work hard to achieve - a success achieved despite damaging leaks and unjustified criticisms of the methods they use to detect and prevent terrorist attacks."

SEN. PAT ROBERTS, R-Kan.

"This should serve as the latest, most serious evidence that we are in a war against a brutal enemy that intends to attack us over and over again in the most indiscriminate way."

SEN. JOE LIEBERMAN, D-Conn.
