On the recordDecember 1, 2011
And to conclude this colloquy--I enjoyed the discussion-- I am not saying our law enforcement or military intelligence community cannot read someone their Miranda rights. I will leave that up to them. I am saying Congress should not take off the table the ability to hold someone under the law of war to gather intelligence, and that is what we are about to do if this passes. To those who believe that homegrown terrorists are a threat now and in the future, if you want to make sure we can never effectively gather intelligence, we only have one option, then that is what we are about to impose on the country.
