let s go to dan holman. we also have chris here. welcome. dan, if i could begin with you on our vetting process. obviously to get over 115,000 here, just afghan nationals, that s a herculean task. so in the rush, do you think questionable characters got through? there s a risk a far greater risk that questionable characters got through that might seek to do us arm. viewers will recall that there s been incidents on green on blue attacks where afghan soldiers attacked their u.s. counter parts. there s the potential for enemies, isis or al-quaida to infiltrate someone into the refugee process. we have relied in the past and certainly all over the world on our local partners. in the case of afghanistan, we
