“There will be a need for a prison to detain people. This is a very large complex. It is also phenomenally symbolic of the evil of Saddam Hussein where within those walls literally thousands of Iraqis were killed. It was known as the death center. Symbolically what we do is very important. Tragically, what we have done or allowed to happen is very important. I think what the Senator from Nebraska and I are saying is, let us look at the death chambers themselves and tell the Iraqi people those chambers will no longer stand. I believe that is an important expression. Words are one thing; actions are clearly another. I believe symbolically what we say today, or what the Senate of the United States could say and should say, is important.”
