On the recordJune 14, 2004

I very much support his effort to codify what should be the rule relative to the use of outside people when it comes to carrying out such a critical function as interrogating prisoners of war. ... I think we must codify what is right in this area. Whether the policy that exists now is correct or not, we should put this into law because we have to make this point about how significant this is. That means the highest possible level of requirement, which is law--not policy, which can easily be changed or ignored, but law which cannot be ignored--is appropriate here.
