"Government should be your ally and should be your partner, and I think people believe in West Virginia, Government has become the adversary relationship and it is basically not your friend anymore."

"I do not believe that anyone is above the law and I do not think that there should be any acceptance of that principle."

"I believe it is past time for a serious overhaul of U.S. counterterrorism strategy."

"This doesn't mean we should never use military force against terrorists."
