Yesterday I went to the Capitol basement, where I read a classified document that angered me. It was frustrating. It was disappointing. It was also greatly enlightening. The American people deserve, they must, they want to know what is in this document. Release the memo. Release the memo and all of the related material sourced in the memo. Release the file. There is no concern--there should not be--for compromising any good sources and methods by releasing the memo and releasing the file.

Do not pull the wool over their eyes. Show them the facts. They deserve nothing less. ____________________
