On the recordMarch 5, 2008
The fact that this intelligence product is being degraded should be alarming to every single American. The fact that we're debating this this evening, knowing that we may not be getting vital intelligence or information I think should be cause for alarm. There are going to be those who say that we're doing this fear-mongering. That is absolute nonsense. We're simply stating facts. And the facts are that our intelligence personnel today don't have the tools that they had just a few weeks ago to deal with the threats that we face as a Nation. I am prepared to come to the floor of the House every single night until this law is enacted.
