"It is not enough to say that America is discontinuing the policies and practices of the recent past."

"If the United States is seen as doing an open and honest review of what happened, setting up policies if we find that we did not follow our own laws and our own policies, to make it very clear mistake..."

"We do not have any provisions in our Constitution that puts some people, elected or otherwise, above the law."

"The longest serving member of this Committee, Senator Edward Kennedy, half a dozen or a dozen times was told he could not board a flight."
