I think the American people have a reason to ask the question: Why, nearly 6 years later, do we now read--and I have read it on a number of occasions in unclassified versions of classified reports that say--there is a secure hideaway for Osama bin Laden and the leadership of al-Qaida? There is a secure hideaway. There is safe haven. Now, why should any place on this Earth be secure or safe for those who would attack this country?
