For each the following, identify who said it — John Kerry, or John Ashcroft:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. “If we are to stand as the world’s role model for freedom, we need to remain vigilant about our own civil liberties.”\n
  2. “The technology is already available to monitor all electronic money transfers. We need the will to make sure it is put in place.”<\/p>\n
  3. “To date, we have heard a great deal about the needs of law enforcement and not enough about the privacy needs of the rest of us. […] Now, more than ever, we must protect citizens’ privacy from the excesses of an arrogant, overly powerful government.”<\/p>\n
  4. “[O]ne would be hard-pressed to find a single grieving relative of those killed in […] the World Trade Center in New York or the federal building in Oklahoma City who would not have gladly sacrificed a measure of personal privacy if it could have saved a loved one.”<\/p>\n
  5. “We absolutely must push for asset forfeiture laws all over the planet. In the words of one plainspoken lawman, ‘Get their ass and get their assets.'”<\/p>\n
  6. “To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberties, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists ? for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve.”<\/p>\n
  7. “If the standards by which banks accept money were lived up to with the same diligence as that by which most banks lend money, the ‘know your customer’ maxim would have teeth. But too many bankers pretend they are doing all they can to know what money crosses their threshold and pretend they are not as key as they are to law-enforcement efforts.”<\/p>\n
  8. “The real problem with the Patriot Act is not the law, but the abuse of the law.”<\/ol>\n
