first of all, I want to make some comments on the issue of the Abu Ghraib abuses and the role of Secretary Rumsfeld and some of the statements that he has made, but also the tremendous leadership he has given over the last several weeks in what have been very difficult times for us as a nation, as we have witnessed, through both report and visual images, the occurrences that happened at Abu Ghraib prison. First and foremost, I thank the Secretary for, ever since these abuses became apparent, being available to us in the Senate, the appropriate committees, and providing the appropriate resources and personnel to keep us informed of the abuses, the response to the abuses, and the many investigations that are underway.
