Before I give my remarks, let me compliment the Senator from California not only on what she just said but on the remarks she made on television yesterday concerning the danger to our country when people leak information relating to our effort to defeat terrorists, which makes it all the more difficult for us to accomplish our job, and it undercuts the mission of the many men and women in the military, our intelligence services, and the civilian forces of government and, frankly, in the governments of allies that are working very hard to identify and prevent terrorism from occurring. When leaks such as this occur, it undercuts that effort tremendously. I thought the Senator from California did a very good job of pointing out how that is so and why we have to go after the people who are responsible.
