Cheney Warns of Terror Risk if Kerry Wins:

"It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice,' Mr. Cheney told a crowd of 350 people in Des Moines, 'because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."
