Patrick Leahy actually said...

"We are losing too many fine law enforcement officers in the line of duty."

"mandating military custody in these situations merely hampers the FBI's ability to react swiftly and flexibly in gathering intelligence and evidence."

"I have joined Senator Mark Udall in cosponsoring the Due Process and Military Detention Amendments Act, which would repeal that mandatory military detention requirement."

"I commend the FBI for also continuing to combat corruption."
