"Questions From Ranking Member Bennie G. Thompson for Qanta A.A. Ahmed"

"I am not sure we have ever had a hearing to gauge the effects of prior hearings."

"Today's hearing does not pose a question. It makes a statement; Iran, Hezbollah, and the threat to the homeland."

"I noted that there were domestic groups that may constitute a threat because of linkages between extreme ideology and a willingness to take violent action."
