Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I have always found in Government that inertia is a lot easier than initiative, and we will work for initiative."

"I begin with the idea that we Americans have a right to know what our Government is doing."

"I do want the ability of courts to review, and that is why I will keep pushing on the State Secrets Act that we have pending right now before the Committee."

"I think the key to all of this is training, training, training, as well as getting broad-based support within each agency."
