The United States has done more for the war crimes tribunal than any other country in the world. We're turning over all the information we have including intelligence information.

I've always felt in all my books that there's a deep decency in the American people and a native intelligence - providing they have the facts providing they have the information.

Prior to the passage of the Patriot Act it was very difficult - often impossible - for us to share information with the Central Intelligence Agency with NSA with the other intelligence agencies and likewise for them to share information with us.

I think what he's - what he believes and he may be correct I don't know that we have some intelligence information that leads us to know some things about what's going on in Iraq that we haven't revealed to others.

We know that there are unaccounted-for Scud and other ballistic missiles in Iraq. And part of the problem is that since 1998 there has been no way to even get minimal information about those programs except through intelligence means.

Foolishness is rarely a matter of lack of intelligence or even lack of information.

It's part of a writer's profession as it's part of a spy's profession to prey on the community to which he's attached to take away information - often in secret - and to translate that into intelligence for his masters whether it's his readership or his spy masters. And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely.

Information is not knowledge.

I think reading is important for a variety of things. I mean first of all it's a way to get information and find out what's going on in the world. But also it helps your imagination.

The hope of Internet anarchists was that repressive governments would have only two options: accept the Internet with its limitless possibilities of spreading information or restrict Internet access to the ruling elite and turn your back on the 21st century as North Korea has done.

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.

I'm quite good at taking in information so I voraciously inhale Wikipedia - which may have some things wrong in it but I think is generally more information than we had before. Last tour we didn't have Wikipedia. And then Discovery Channel and History Channel. I can take it in and retain what I think are the most important facts.

The history of man is the history of crimes and history can repeat. So information is a defence. Through this we can build we must build a defence against repetition.

To get away from poverty you need several things at the same time: school health and infrastructure - those are the public investments. And on the other side you need market opportunities information employment and human rights.

I also rise today in strong support of forward movement on the implementation of health information technology which has the potential to save the United States billions of dollars in health care costs each year.

If a State has reliable scientific information that demonstrates that a warning is needed for a particular food then in the interest of public health it should share that information with the FDA and petition for a new national standard.

As problems like identity theft become more prevalent now more than ever Americans need to take their financial health seriously - and this information is of the utmost importance.

Fear is a question: What are you afraid of and why? Just as the seed of health is in illness because illness contains information your fears are a treasure house of self-knowledge if you explore them.

We all want more information available when making health care decisions for ourselves and our families.

And so to those who suggest that we are somehow 'harming' young women by encouraging them to take charge of their health we say this: We are not harming young women by educating them. We are arming them with information that they will carry with them throughout their lives.

I think young writers should get other degrees first social sciences arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.

My house was bugged. They couldn't find any information on me being a subversive because I happen to love America I just don't like some of the things the government is doing.

If Bush as I believe has reliable information on the fact that Saddam Hussein is making weapons of mass destruction I cannot not support the policies of his government.

The control of information is something the elite always does particularly in a despotic form of government. Information knowledge is power. If you can control information you can control people.
