Health care to prisoners of war simply because i want that standard to be available to our soldiers in future wars. The standard we set today could follow us into the next war, and unfortunately, there will be. But having to take him off the ship because he was sick is no excuse to stop the interrogation to gather intelligence. Putting him on the ship because you dont want to use Guantanamo Bay is an illconceived and designed strategy that its not changed or replaced is going to come back to haunt this country. This man possesses an enormous amount of intelligence potential. He is now in federal court. He will be given a lawyer. And once hes charged with a crime, he should be given a lawyer. But before that, we have the right under the law of war to hold him, to gather intelligence, treat him humanely, but question him about what he knows about al qaeda, because theyre still out there lurking. So i would end with this. I would like to work with the senator from New Hampshire and anybod
European union. I have spoken with seven of the Foreign Ministers myself this morning. What is clear is that there is not the appetite to imposing economic sanctions or to target any of russias Business Leaders in that list. That is something that many people have speculated on going into this meeting. They are not there yet. The goal of the sanctions is to discourage president Vladimir Putin from annexing crimea but that crimean set voted to join russia but russia does not need to follow through with that. Should president putin decide to annex crimea, we could see the European Union ratchet up the sanctions. The west has given russia its warning and putin will respond and we will speak to russian lawmakers tomorrow. If you listen to the rhetoric coming out of moscow, it is hard to imagine that he will do anything other than to annex crimea. I would point out that it could be a long process or it could be as long as the kremlin wants to. Perhaps that will be a point of negotiation. Fo
After decades of service to the country, women warriors are the gold women lawyers are the gold standard. She said why should we trust nsa or any Government Agency to put the technical side of this together . Why should we and then why do you trust them and i said well, i start with this there are bad guys out there trying to attack us to read what sort of the terrorist piece of this. I want to know who they are and disrupt them before they do that. My assumption is most of them are in some Foreign Place and are not u. S. Persons. But at any rate, some of them could be. So, congress tried to design a system, and i think they did so pretty well. Building in safeguards. Court reviewing the congressional oversight. Now the system got a lot bigger since 9 11. Is it the right size . I dont know. I dont know if its the right size. But i know im not the person, or if i were a member of congress now or even as the slowly beat up president and ceo of the Wilson Center just getting im not the pe
Think history will record, is that you were not fully functioning until may of 2013. That is about 8. 5 years lost of a very critical mission. Let me just say that a goal in the law, certainly my personal goal was to have in the law certainty that liberty and security were reinforcing values in the policies and practices that we established under the law. Is if ever that function were needed, it is right now. Me that youunate to were one of the best kept secrets in washington. I know you are making a massive effort to get out there and i commend you for it. Urgenthink the need is and you, uniquely among the different groups in looking at arepolicies and practices, able to make sure from the inside that we are doing the right things. Let me make two other points. Germanyas in berlin, a week ago today, at , dinner for top policy types think tank leaders, and business people. All of whom were shocked and horrified by the revolution europeanns revealed in newspapers. When i told them that
Have said that judges do this. We have said this is appropriate for judges even in the absence of this. It is right there in the constitution. Asked how ever really we get more in store for judges in the first place. Katie that is the answer, but it is right there in the first amendment. I dont think so because the case law has suggested it does not test the neutral magistrate does not need to be a judge or lawyer. Could be someone who is a court clerk. It could be someone inside the executive branch who could count as a judge for Fourth Amendment purposes. This goes back to the difficulty of figuring out how to categorize search warrant applications. The fact that you can have a nonjudge issue a search warrant takes it outside of the and suggestsystem that may not be a judicial function. Is usually a gray area. There are extraordinary context where you can pursue, seek to challenge. Traditionally the understanding has been no. There has been some disagreement and the title iii setting
