Harvard Law Journal of Law and Public Policy
PART 8
To this day we have not had another attack on American soil. For America’s safety, I thank God, as well as the men and women of law enforcement who worked hard to rebuild our justice system to focus on prevention. In some ways, I consider our success a validation of the strategy of prevention that we embraced sitting in the FBI’s Strategic Information Operations Center while New York City and the Pentagon were still burning.
Political battles are nothing new to Washington, D.C., and will continue for some time over a few of the strategic aspects of the war on terror. I know, however, that we left the Justice Department better prepared to keep America safe, and I remain grateful for the honor to be a part of the important work of ensuring American life and liberty.
