Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I applaud the people in our country who do try to keep us safe, and we know that we will continue to have new procedures."

"we have got to protect ourselves, but we have got to balance it with what makes us great as a Nation, our privacy and our civil liberties."

"to Senator Leahy"

"I think it is wrong to hold those Department lawyers to a lower standard than workaday lawyers outside of the Department."
