John F. Kerry: “There is this moment of opportunity, for whatever reason.”

I was deeply troubled by the unwillingness of Dr. Rice, just very candidly and simply to answer the question about torture.

In an effort to try to make sure it doesn't, we put a provision in the amendment that authorizes the SBA to make the supplemental loans for Katrina victims that included oversight protections.

I will continue to oppose every bad policy, to question every baseless assertion, and to advocate for a wiser course that will make our country more secure.

We will do everything in our power to help you, and I think your last comment is very important.
