These events, and others, should remind every American that we are a Nation under siege and must remain vigilant.

I think history will judge that as a correct assessment of what happened on that fateful day.

I want to personally express my sympathy to those impacted by the terrorist attack at Fort Hood.

I think that is what should have happened in this case.

I do think that the American people and the families and the victims deserve that somebody in this Government be held accountable for what happened.

Mr. Keating, my Ranking Member, we both worked with fusion centers.

I believe there is no higher priority for our National security than the issue of information sharing.

The Honorable Mike McCaul, Chairman, Oversight, Investigations, and Management Subcommittee

I do not mean to use this hearing as an opportunity to fear monger because as a former District Attorney, I do not believe that it's law enforcement's intent to employ these technologies in a harmful manner, but I am seriously concerned…
