Every person who commits to going to war against America or any other peaceful nation should be held off the battlefield as long as they are dangerous.

The people on the ground in different regions of the world indicate to me that Gitmo has hurt our effort to bring people over to our side, and starting over with detainee policy would probably be a good idea.

In every war detainee policy becomes very important. It can hurt the war effort or it can help the war effort.

I prefer the military commission system.

I want an independent judiciary basically validating what the intelligence community and the military says about this person.

I would certainly urge you to do that.

I just want the public to understand that in terms of disposition forward, repatriation has its limits, but a possibility.

It has to be robust and it has to be transparent, and no one would be held based on an arbitrary decision by one group.

I would encourage you to go because I think beyond Guantanamo Bay detainees, there is a group within Bagram Air Base that are foreign fighters.

If you lose in court or the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case, wouldn't the order to release the photos be imminent?

We are a Nation of laws, and an Executive order just cannot wipe out a court decision.

I think it is very imperative that one of us act, the Congress or the administration.

I am amazed. We are 8 years into this war, basically, since 9/11.

we are losing the public here about closing the facility.

I think there will be a comprehensive proposal coming out from Senator McCain and myself.

But when it comes to battlefield communications, let us do not let this debate hamper our ability to protect our troops.

I would just like to let the Committee know, my beef is not with the courts.

I do not want Americans to be monitored as being suspected fifth column movement members of al Qaeda.
