“I support first amendment rights. There are certain limitations in which I think we all agree. I just sat through a Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence hearing, which I am very limited in what I can say about the memo that was written by Mr. Williams, and the reasons why that much of the information was not passed forth is because of the politically correct environment, the liability environment, the civil liberties union going after our agents for things in doing their job in which their hands are tied. I think all of us after September 11 are living in a different world. Do we want people violated? No. But I will tell you, if an agent, whether it is DEA, whether it is customs or whether it is INS, feels that I am suspect due to my activities, due to suspicions or I am reacting a certain way, then I have no ill feelings to those individuals that search me.”
