We've reduced the number of GBIs being produced dramatically, more than I think we should.

Life-extended B61 bombs must be introduced into the stockpile by 2017 to avoid gaps in capability.

Last year, I think, General Alston and Admiral Johnson, you testified about Air Force test flights...

Would you explain why that testing is necessary?

I think I agree with that fundamentally.

Well, what if we took some of the money we are spending on things--heaven knows that we would cut a dime from the COPS program.

History shows, I think, that that did prove correct.

I think the Federal Government should not pay police departments to be police departments.

I think that is so good, and, Chief Schirling, you talked about the different police departments and so forth.

It requires the ability to analytically consider important issues with the highest legal skill.

Well, it should be investigated, and if it came from OPR, should it not be investigated or should it be investigated?

We cannot allow politics to infect the Justice Department.

It appears it was not investigated, and it appears the leak came from OPR itself.

I understand, but they even have a rapid response team to deal with that, which is a healthy thing.

They do not have those rights any more than a German or Japanese prisoner captured on the battlefield is entitled to a lawyer.

I am troubled by the leaks that came out of that investigation, and that the whole process really has done some long-term damage to the credibility of OPR.

The President said explicitly that he did not believe these individuals should be given Miranda warnings.

The leaks to the media which have done irreparable damage to the reputations of these two men who have now been found not guilty of professional misconduct is just shameful, and I hope we get to the bottom of it.

I would just remind you that President Bush created a courtroom and a procedure to try cases in Guantanamo.

I think that was an important step. These are difficult challenges that you face.

The fact is that you could take them to a military commission.

Well, I just would say to you that, yes, you can ask them, for instances 'Do you have a gun or anything on you?'

The Attorney General has issued an opinion that the presumption is that people held at Guantanamo will be tried in civilian courts.

I appreciate Senator Kyl--I know he has done a lot of work on this, and I will yield to him.

I see one Navy source in a recent article said there's a 100 percent chance of a contest or a protest.
