My point to my colleagues--and I enjoyed this discussion--is that if you take the ability to hold someone as an enemy combatant off the table, you cannot interrogate them for intelligence- gathering purposes, and if you put a time limit on how long you can hold them, you defeat the purpose of gathering intelligence. Does the Senator agree with that?

We're not giving any money to Iran that can change the course of history to try diplomacy. Is the MOU problematic? Yes. I would rather try diplomacy than take it off the table. The money Iran gets is not going to change the future of Iran.
I am grateful this was a decisive win. It's the most challenged I've ever been in terms of money, and the most challenged I've ever been in terms of the garbage thrown at me.
