[Murray] Mr. Secretary […], the Vice President was on TV on Sunday and said, “I think that the prospects of a future attack on the U.S. are almost a certainty. It could happen tomorrow, it could happen next week, it could happen next year, but they will keep trying and we have to be prepared.” Is he talking about new information there, about imminent attacks?

[Rumsfeld] We get new information all the time. Some of it is valid and some of it proves not to be valid. There is no question but that the Vice President is exactly right. We have to know that there are hundreds and hundreds of these people trained in terrorist training camps. They had [a] massive fundraising activity base, very well trained, and they have been disbursed all across the world including the United States of America. It is only realistic to expect that there will be another attack, and we do have to be prepared. Although I would rephrase that slightly.

The only way to deal with terrorists is to go after them. You can’t defend every place at every time. Even if you know there is going to be an attack, it’s almost impossible. You simply have to go find them where they are and dry up their money and arrest them and capture or kill them. (Rumsfeld, “Interview with Alan Murray”)
