the tyranny of political correctness has been extended so far that Major Hasan's actions have been labeled as 'workplace violence.'

I do. I don't know exactly what happened here, but this is why I raised the question about the Department of Justice guidelines for the FBI.

I firmly believe that law enforcement, in addition to all of the citizens of our community are really critical to that effort.

Shouldn't the fact that the first notice of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's possible radicalization came to us from a very uncommon source, Russian intelligence, have marked the case for special handling by our Government, and guaranteed that this…

The cost of silence as we learned again on April 15 can be enormous.

I think in some sense it is unfair to the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the world... to leave it unspoken.

I am really encouraged by what I take to be a totally nonpartisan approach in a committee to finding out what went wrong here.

I think that being honest about what we face will make that citizenry more willing to come forward...

We don't want to cut back in our support of State and local law enforcement because they are where it is.

If we want to go where the problem seems to be most serious right now, this ideology of violent Islamist extremism among homegrown radicals.

I can tell you that I am convinced now, after responding to this incident that if we had not trained through the UASI process--they funded a joint terrorism training preparation, and something called Urban Shield.

I said when I started this investigation that we were going to find out what happened, what went wrong and how to fix it, and I will not be satisfied until we get the answers that the American people deserve.

I think the FBI has a lot to explain for here and I am not trying to be a Monday morning quarterback.

I think it is a very, very good point that the reality is that we keep referring to these individuals as isolated acts, single individuals, that is true, they are isolated, single individuals, but they are also connected, it is not as if…

We are in a war, and as I said, it is against an ideology that is not receding.

You have got to know your enemy and call it what it is, particularly now.

I don't believe it has been effective as seen by Boston.

The enemy we face is violent Islamist extremism, not just al-Qaeda.

we have to purge ourselves of the practice of political correctness when it goes so far that it interferes with our rational and intellectually honest analysis...

General Campbell and General Walker, when will the Army make a decision and announcement?

General Campbell and General Walker, where is the Army in its analysis and decision process with respect to adding a third maneuver battalion to the Infantry and Armor brigades?

given the capability that the current brigade structure has demonstrated in combat and the potential increase in costs to implement a major reorganization, what would be the basis for justifying the additional expense?

General Campbell and General Walker, how would such a change enhance the Army's warfighting capabilities?

General Campbell and General Walker, how will Army plans and execution of the reductions account for different equipment requirements?

given that requirements assessment and development processes now include cost estimates, what are the Army's estimates of the potential incremental increase in costs to implement such a decision?
