He put himself and the country on the line, and he succeeded.

It took courage by the President to make the decision to go ahead, because if that operation had--not failed, he certainly would have received the blame for it.

The allocation of the D Block to public safety enables public safety to know that the network and communication will be there when needed.

We now have educated young people coming to the public safety profession with daily experience in using wireless devices and technology that provides them with the independence to seek and acquire information in real-time for all of their…

This is unacceptable and cannot stand.

How many lives could we save if we could provide EMS and emergency room doctors with video capabilities to see injuries and provide guidance at the scene and while in transport to medical facilities?

The time to act is now. The 10-year anniversary of 9/11 is quickly approaching; however, public safety continues to lack the ability to communicate effectively.

This legislation fulfills a remaining unmet recommendation of the 9/11 Commission Report, to provide public safety with the ability to establish seamless interoperability throughout the United States.

the further targeting of Muslim Americans as a result of this hearing will not only be ineffective in securing our Nation's safety, but will divert already scarce law enforcement resources away from real threats.

The Obama administration recognizes prison radicalization as a serious threat.

As we approach the 10-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks, we cannot allow the memories of that tragic day to fade away.

I want to thank you, Mr. King, Congressman King, and other Members of the committee, for getting me here, for parents like me.

It is my desire to see multiple hearings... examining the role that Islamic doctrine plays in the radicalization process.

I am regularly astonished and outraged, outraged by this administration's continued failure to single out who our enemy is.

The failure to identify our enemy for what it is, violent Islamic extremism, is offensive and contradicts thousands of years of accepted military and intelligence doctrine to know your enemy.

This committee cannot live in denial... There is no equivalency of threat between al-Qaeda and neo-Nazis.

this is an enemy living among us.

Targeting of the Muslim American community for the actions of a few is unjust.

I can't think of anyone more qualified or more distinguished to fill that vacancy than Mr. Green.

However, the common denominator in these cases is conversion to a radical form of Islam while in prison.

Let me be clear: CAIR is counter-productive and is hurting the American Muslim community.

I think there has been a lack of full cooperation from too many people in the Muslim community.

The danger remains real and present, especially because of al-Qaeda's announced intention to intensify attacks within the United States.

I think we have to realize when we look at groups like CAIR, I believe they come out of that same mentality, which is the collectivization of Muslims.

Is there anything unique about a religious radical, as opposed to a gang member, a skinhead, or a neo-Nazi?
