It would really disrupt the war effort if our troops and their commanders would be subject to appearing before Federal judges.

The idea that we cannot find a place to securely house 250-plus detainees within the United States is not rational.

I think it is very imperative that one of us act, the Congress or the administration.

I am amazed. We are 8 years into this war, basically, since 9/11.

The people on the ground in different regions of the world indicate to me that Gitmo has hurt our effort to bring people over to our side, and starting over with detainee policy would probably be a good idea.

I would encourage you to go because I think beyond Guantanamo Bay detainees, there is a group within Bagram Air Base that are foreign fighters.

I think there will be a comprehensive proposal coming out from Senator McCain and myself.

I think that there are compelling reasons why these photos should not be released.

We are a Nation of laws, and an Executive order just cannot wipe out a court decision.

In every war detainee policy becomes very important. It can hurt the war effort or it can help the war effort.

It has to be robust and it has to be transparent, and no one would be held based on an arbitrary decision by one group.

If you lose in court or the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case, wouldn't the order to release the photos be imminent?
