U.S. citizens are not eligible for military commission. Do you agree with that?

I think they want to kill us everywhere, but particularly here.

Mr. Speaker, I strongly support H.R. 2072, the ``Securing American Jobs Through Exports Act of 2011'' which reauthorizes the Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank for three years. Last year the Export-Import Bank supported nearly 300,000 American…
