With regard to that very issue, we know that in the 9/11 Commission there were hundreds of mentions of Islam, jihad, all of these type things that we know were involved. And again, we thank God that the vast majority of Muslims love this country like we do. They are not about to kill Christians, Jews; but there are those in the radical element that believe otherwise. And we ought to be able to talk about it. We now know that this administration has seen to such a purging of our training material for Defense Department, Intelligence, State, that in the current lexicon from which the FBI, our intelligence folks are trained, there are zero mentions of Islam, zero mentions of jihad, zero mentions of the very things that created the worst attack on American soil in American history. As one of our own officers told me: We have been blinded in this war with those using terrorism. We're not allowed to see our enemy. We're not allowed to describe our enemy. We're not allowed to talk about who the real enemy is. We're just expected to protect America with our eyes closed and our mouths shut. That's no way to protect America.
