Turn of Phrase - Senator Feinstein Talks Tough on Fox News

"I am hopeful that we will be able to, candidly, kill this bomb maker and kill some of these other associates, because there is a dangerous process in play at the present time."

- From Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, speaking to Fox News about an operative from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula who has created at least two difficult-to-detect non-metallic explosives.

At a different point in the interview during a discussion of defeating the Taliban in Afghanistan, Feinstein called out the neighboring Pakistani government, noting the Taliban "have a safe harbor in Pakistan and the Pakistanis are doing nothing to abate that safe haven." 

I guess the old "soft" California liberal thing ain't what it used to be.
