Terry Waite speaks,

but says nothing. He was a hostage in Lebanon, you'll remember, from 1987 to 1991. He's just spouting the same old leftie nonsense now:

Though declaring himself not a pacifist, Waite maintains U.S. and coalition troops moved too quickly into Iraq with force.

There were other options, he said. United Nations weapons inspectors needed more time in their search for weapons of mass destruction.

Human rights inspectors, Waite said in an interview before his speech, needed the freedom to peacefully look for any violations that might require the now deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to appear before a tribunal.

Stuff like this from a man who has seen terrorism up close, makes me despair for the humanity of such people. How many more people would have been tortured and killed in mass graves in Saddam's Iraq or in soccer stadia in Afghanistan, had we not come to their rescue? We tried the U.N. and inspections for 12 years. Where was he? I guess his name is his philosophy toward terrorism: just Waite.
