We know through war a lot of damage has been done to a country and to a people. This is a chance to make one life better.

I knew Children of Americas had in the past brought (foreign) children here with parents.

The seams will flatten out over time. But I doubt she's glad she did this right now.

I've heard people say this country wasn't at war. I want to tell you, Mr. Chairman ... we conducted ourselves at war ... We did the best we could under the law and with the resources provided and under our defined rules of engagement.

My story is a warning to all people here in the country that the current approach to waging war on terrorism from within our own borders is truly a threat to civil liberties.

It's human nature to expect that the people that will respond early and faster will be the people that will more than likely be coming back. And we recognize that we haven't reached everyone but we reached enough people that we feel like the numbers are valid.
