Can you identify the US politician who uttered these quotes?
1. You know, deterrence worked during the Cold War in large measure because the United States made it clear to the Soviet Union that there would be massive retaliation. We have to make it clear to those states that would give safe haven to stateless terrorists, that would launch a nuclear attack against America that they would also face a very heavy retaliation.
On January 18, after a long legal battle, the Bush administration has been forced to make public motion filed by the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on behalf of Guantánamo and former CIA ghost detainee Majid Khan.
Significance of November 8
November 8, 1923: In what came to be known as the Beer Hall Putsch, National Socialist German Workers Party leader Adolph Hitler and other members of the Kampfbund executed an unsuccessful coup d'etat to overthrow the German government. Although the Putsch failed, Adolph Hitler went on to become the Chancellor of Germany.

A wireless phone company in California will deliver 2,000 letters to Senator Dianne Feinstein's office asking the senator to represent her constituents and not President Bush's interests.
Here's the letter that CREDO Mobile will deliver:
Dear Sen. Feinstein,
I am writing to urge you to stop voting with the Bush agenda and start representing your constituents.
In recent months, you have veered sharply to the right and voted in direct opposition to the wishes of Californians -- and in conflict with your own record of support for civil liberties.
Remember the "fathered a black child" smear campaign Bush used against McCain in 2000, effectively ending McCain's chances?
A national household survey conducted by the Iraqi government and the World Health Organization estimates that 151 000 Iraqis died from violence between March 2003 and June 2006, much less than the household survey conducted earlier in 2006, which put the figure at 655,000.
Does this mean that the earlier survey was a gross exaggeration? After all the, sample size of the new study is much larger than the earlier one.
