Zitat des Tages von Jane Harman:
We need spies that look like their targets, CIA officers who speak the dialects terrorists use, and FBI agents who can speak to Muslim women who might be intimidated by men.
I think I am aggressive, I think I am critical when it's necessary.
We can no longer expect an Intelligence Community that is mostly male and mostly white to be able to monitor and infiltrate suspicious organizations or terrorist groups.
The Committee's review of a series of intelligence shortcomings, to include intelligence prior to 9/11 and the pre-war intelligence on Iraq, clearly reveal how vital a diverse intelligence workforce is to our national security.
If the withdrawal from Gaza goes badly, obviously, that will set us back.
Maybe it's my 15 minutes of fame, maybe it's longer.
At the same time as we clearly condemn actions of violence by groups in Palestinian against Israel.
In a post-9/11 world, diversity has become even more important.
So, you know, I think that Democrats are being more successful in Congress and I'm really going to be proud of the role I will play tomorrow as ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee when this bill passes.
But as I often say, terrorists won't check our party registration before they blow us up.
The point is to solve problems, not point fingers.
There's no deep bench there, Mahmoud Abbas is, I think, the best leader of the Palestinians we could field.
