Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 30 seconds to say, regrettably, the previous gentleman is simply wrong. He said that America would not arrest as a terrorist someone who turned out not to be a terrorist. The facts are simply clear that that is just not the case. It is not that we are doing anything malicious. It is a complicated and difficult job. As Mr. Nadler pointed out, there is a lot to sort out. It is not even in dispute that we have arrested and incarcerated people because we thought they were terrorists and found out that we were wrong. That is not debated. A number of them have been released. So to say that, well, if we arrested them and put them in there, they must be bad and they can't be sent out is precisely what is wrong with the thinking behind this piece of legislation. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
