I would like to work with Members of both sides of the aisle to put in place language, in the military authorization and in any supplemental requests that are going to be made, that we be given full and necessary disclosure, the same way we require corporations that are making stock offerings to inform their investors, the same way we require corporations and those running them to inform their boards of directors of relevant, critically important information that has a material bearing on the information that is being presented so they can make informed decisions. We are getting far less than that. We are being asked to make informed decisions when we are not being given the information, we are not being told the truth. We are having vital, important information withheld. That has to stop. We need to disclose what has occurred in these incidents. We need to make sure they never happen again. And we need to make sure that we in Congress are given the opportunity that we deserve, the right that we have, to look out on behalf of the American people to make sure they never occur again.
