But you mentioned the lawsuit that was filed against the NYPD. You also quoted John Brennan earlier on. I think you should say that--also put in the record--that John Brennan, just last April 21, said that he has full confidence the NYPD is doing things consistent with the law, and he gave them specific credit for being able to identify and stop terrorist operatives and terrorist attacks here on our shore. The success is in the record in terms of keeping the city safe. So if we are going to put something in the record about the NYPD, I think the counter should be put in from the leading Homeland Security advisor in this administration, where he says he fully supports the NYPD and the actions they have taken.
