Does DOD report those cases to civilian law enforcement authorities for investigation?

The United States must play a pivotal role and robustly participate in multilateral efforts to ensure that the Congolese Government holds free, fair, and timely local and national elections that respect the Congolese Constitution…

Dr. Bell, what is the prevalence of PTSD in veterans who are victims of sexual trauma?

Dr. Bell, is history of sexual trauma a major risk factor for PTSD?

I would just conclude, I want to end on a positive note, I appreciate the gains made and the focus and the attention.

I thank the Senator from Arizona. To conclude, this is not Lindsey Graham or Colonel Graham saying this. This is what General Dunford is saying. I know he is right. I clearly understand what he is telling us. I have seen it firsthand. To…

We are not asking to bring these people back to the United States for trial. We are asking that they go through the criminal process under Afghan law where Afghan judges will decide their fate. Afghan prosecutors and defense attorneys will…

Senator McCain is absolutely right. I thank him for showing such an interest in this topic. He has been so helpful in making sure we get this detention issue right. Having been incarcerated in a war, I think Senator McCain knows the…

And their response was: We can fix it later. Our response was: Well, will you pay for it later? And everybody said yes. So here we are. I appreciate Senator Pryor and Senator Hagan from North Carolina wanting to fix it. The good news is…

Most Republicans, and I am sure some Democrats, would not have voted for a budget deal unless it was deficit-neutral and paid for. I know it wouldn't have passed the House. So now, after the fact, if you fix the COLA problem without paying…

I thank the Chair. Does the Senator agree with me, if the budget deal had not been paid for it would never have passed?

Ok. If the argument is that by adding a Social Security number requirement to the additional credit you are somehow burdening people, why isn't that an argument made against the EITC? Because to get the earned income tax credit you have to…

We are not going to get it. You are not going to get it for your kids because you make too much money.

Let me see if I have this right. There is an earned income tax credit you can receive based on need; is that right?

I think it is $500. But the point is, do you have to have a Social Security number?

I think this is a Ronald Reagan idea. If you are working, even though you may not have any income tax liability, we are going to give you an earned income tax credit. I think it is $500 per child; is that right?

I will be introducing a resolution condemning this action by President Karzai.

The release of these detainees is a major step backward for the rule of law in Afghanistan.

We just told one of our best allies they can't enrich.

We would ask for the same thing they have.

Substantial. I can't quantify that, but every year we cut resources and we have less capacity and less capability, we are by definition assuming more risk.

If the Iranians are allowed to enrich uranium as a final deal, could you please let us know, in whatever appropriate forum, the effect that might have on the Mideast in terms of spreading proliferation of nuclear weapons capability?

In 1 minute, if, in fact, enrichment of uranium spread throughout the Mideast, even under the color of peaceful nuclear power program purposes, would you agree with me that that would be a very bad scenario for the national security of the…

So whether it's core al Qaeda or an al Qaeda affiliate, the goal is the same, no matter what the name may be, is to drive the United States out of the Mideast and create an Islamic caliphate throughout the region.

I look forward to developing a bipartisan plan to push back as hard as possible.
