In response to the Senator from South Carolina, I would say, unfortunately, our country is the goal for al-Qaida, and we saw that with September 11 and the horrible attacks on our country that day that killed Americans. They want to come here and harm us and hit us where it hurts us the most. So, unfortunately, America is part of the battlefield. To put ourselves in a position where we would not allow our military intelligence, law enforcement, to have the tools they need to gather the most intelligence to protect Americans on our soil would lead to an absurd result.
