Gingrich on Terrorist Attacks House Speaker Newt Gingrich says the United States should be ready to carry out military strikes against nations suspected of plotting attacks against American targets. Calling for what he termed a ``doctrine of pre-emption,'' Gingrich said in a speech to business leaders that potential ``terrorists'' should be given 24 hours to prove they were innocent or face retaliation. He said attacks on terrorist cells could be carried out covertly by the CIA or overtly by military means in the style of Israel's 1981 attack on an Iraqi nuclear power plant.
