In a speech in New York on October 18, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney said: ” ‘We are dealing here with evil people who dwell in the shadows, planning unimaginable violence and destruction. We have no alternative but to meet the enemy where he dwells. Sometimes that means doing business with people you would not like to have as your next-door neighbor. We must and we will use every means at our disposal to ensure the freedom and security of the American people.’ ”
