Powell: We'll Go After Them

By DAVID ESPO

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON (Sept. 12) - The government went back to work amid the carnage Wednesday, its political leaders, diplomats and soldiers leaving no doubt the terrorist assault will be answered. ''We will go after them,'' Secretary of State Colin Powell vowed. ''We will not let up.''

President Bush was in the Oval Office at 7 a.m., preparing for a unity meeting with congressional leaders and helping to set up a Red Cross blood drive at the White House.

''It is a war,'' Powell said. ''It's a war not against the United States, it's a war against civilization.''

Powell told ABC's ''Good Morning America'' that the administration was ''far from selecting any particular military targets'' for retaliation against the attacks that brought down the towers of the World Trade Center in New York and four hijacked U.S. jetliners, and breached the Pentagon.

''I would not remove any of the options available to the president,'' he said. But ''we have to build the case first.''

Military and civilian employees of the Pentagon filed into work even as smoke from the stricken section of the building wafted over the nearby Virginia hillsides and highways. The State Department, which closed after the attacks, opened again.
