“I also want to emphasize what Congressman Gingrey said about, that this is no more than a back door attempt to shut down this school. It does great work. I have visited there. This school is open to the public 7 days a week. You can go in, you can sit in the classes, you can talk to the military personnel. It's as open as you could possibly get. The times in this country and times in this world have changed. And to put these men and women at risk in their own country and their families at risk is not fair. The DOD has released these names. They've publicized it. They're for anybody in this body that wants to go read them to try to find out who has been there. I don't know what more we can ask for. If we're going to have transparency in everything we do, why don't we release all the information about our families and where we're from and maybe even our intelligence community.”
