2. I don't remember this

but what did Fleischer say? Link please.

We Americans have obviously been made fearful and willing to give up everything under the guise of protection from terrorism and the perpetual need for more duct tape since 9-11.

The real concern to Americans should be that most of us are becoming less fearful and some might foresee a need to re-instill fear in the public to advance their agenda. If it comes, God forbid, it will come from those who benefit the most, and not from those who have been portrayed as the most evil. False flag is most likely and it will seriously impact society and our freedoms.

3. he said it in regard to the comedian, Bill Maher

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politically_Incorrect

In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and elsewhere, U.S. President George W. Bush said that the terrorists responsible were cowards. (Included in the September 11 attacks was the crash of American Airlines Flight 77, upon which frequent guest Barbara Olson was traveling to a Politically Incorrect taping; Maher left a panel chair empty for a week afterwards.) On Politically Incorrect's September 17 show, Maher's guest Dinesh D'Souza disputed Bush's label, saying the terrorists were warriors.<4> Maher agreed, and according to a transcript replied "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly".<4>

While similar comments had been made in other media, Maher's comments became a major controversy.<4> Some advertisers withdrew their support, and some ABC affiliates stopped airing the show temporarily.<4> White House press secretary Ari Fleischer denounced Maher, warning that "people have to watch what they say and watch what they do."<5>
