If legislation drives technology, the technology will be outdated almost instantly.

it is almost a self-perpetuating failure----

if the VA almost wants to--I mean, I do not want them to want to undermine the access to non-VA care

[A] top-down, preemptive approach is never the best policy and will only serve to stifle innovation.

We as policymakers we can either create an environment that allows that to continue to grow, or one that thwarts that.

So, I am hopeful, in the long term, that we are not just allowing the VA to want to perpetuate their own system, but we really do look at what is best for the veterans.

Does it matter to our security?

I was a State AG, and I pursued some of these cases.

if a released detainee generates terrorist propaganda, this is not technically considered reengagement, correct?

If we get Ayman al-Zawahiri tomorrow, the head of al-Qaeda, or al-Baghdadi, the head of ISIS, where--what will we do with them?

I think the American people have a right to know----

I do not understand why the American people can't be told a basic question.
