The Senator is correct. But here is what we are doing. Here is what Lindsey Graham is doing, and Carl Levin, and an overwhelming number of the Members of this body are about to do. We are about to pass a defense authorization bill that…

This idea of civil liberties and the American way of life--if we do not fight for it, we are going to lose it. We are under siege and we are under attack. So let's fight back within our values. This bill allows us to fight back, and I am…

Is the Senator familiar with the efforts by German saboteurs who landed--I believe, in the Long Island area, but I don't know exactly where they landed--during World War II, and they were aided by American citizens to execute a sabotage…
